How Democracies Die

I've been enjoying reading the well-written book, How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. I realize that almost every book published says "if you read only one book this year, read _________." But I would say this book truly fits the bill. The book says, clearly and authoritatively, what many need to hear in this never-before-seen political times.

The part I am reading talks about the traits of an autocratic leader. When you read the list, you will no doubt have an image of a certain politician in your mind.

If you don't, then you must read the book.
