How Democracies Die - Steven Levitsky

How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky & Daniel Ziblatt

This gripping and accessible book breaks down a big question: how do modern democracies collapse—not in one dramatic moment, but slowly, from the inside? Drawing on global examples and decades of research, the authors show how democratic norms weaken, how leaders quietly erode institutions, and what ordinary citizens can do to protect their freedoms.
