Synopsis

Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, authors of 'How Democracies Die,' return to examine the growing threat of minority rule in American politics. They analyze how the U.S. constitutional system, combined with extreme partisan polarization, allows a determined minority to obstruct the majority's will and undermine democratic institutions. This book offers a critical look at the challenges facing American democracy and proposes ways to strengthen it.
