Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one.
Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die—and how ours can be saved.
Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt are Professors of Government at Harvard University. Levitsky’s research focuses on Latin America and the developing world. He is the author of Competitive Authoritarianism and is the recipient of numerous teaching awards. Ziblatt studies Europe from the nineteenth century to the present. He is the author, most recently, of Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy. Both Levitsky and Ziblatt have written for Vox and The New York Times, among other publications.

评分世界上没有完美的制度,只有抗造程度之分。即便是被尊为典范的美国民主,也需要政党和政治家(政客?)们用宽容、忍耐和克制来呵护。 当大家的行事哲学都变成“宁要选票,不要原则”“凡是敌人支持的,我们就反对”,那么大厦的倾圮也就没有那么不可想象了。
评分雖然介紹裡強調的是川普,全書的覆蓋面其實更廣。Foundations做得很好,從理論和歷史上對如今的現狀進行條分縷析,並舉了很多他國例子。很不錯。最後一段引用的E. B. White的話真是讓人淚流滿面。
评分这种因川普而起的呼吁重新审视民主的书最多三星
评分系里的读书会。Pro. A:我们现在谈谈methodology吧。 B:这本书还有methodology?
