Description
The Revenge of Power: How Autocrats Are Reinventing Politics for the 21st Century by Moisés Naím A comprehensive and urgent exploration of the global spread of authoritarianism and its dangers, this book sheds light on the trends, conditions, technologies, and behaviors that are contributing to the concentration of power. Naím examines the three key factors driving the rise of autocrats: populism, polarization, and post-truths, and how these forces are undermining democratic life in new and frightening ways. By analyzing the tactics and strategies used by autocrats to maintain their power, Naím reveals a profound transformation in power and politics worldwide. With vivid examples and riveting stories, this book connects the dots between global events and political tactics, providing a compelling look at the future of democracy. Naím's work builds on his previous book, The End of Power, and offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing our world today.
