Description
The Age of the Strongman: How the Cult of the Leader Threatens Democracy Around the World by Gideon Rachman In an era marked by self-styled strongmen, who claim to stand up for ordinary people against 'globalist' elites, and posture as the embodiment of their nation abroad, a new style of authoritarian leadership has emerged. This book explores how and why this phenomenon arrived, its implications for global politics, and what liberal forces are in place to counter it. Gideon Rachman examines the cult of personality that accompanies these leaders, and assesses the likelihood of their actions leading to war and economic collapse. With timely insight, he offers a bold new portrait of our world, one that is shaped by unpredictable events and forces seeking to reverse the trend. A thought-provoking analysis of our contemporary world, The Age of the Strongman is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in global politics and democracy.
