More about the book

Focusing on the threats to democracy in the 21st century, this analysis explores how oligarchy, tyranny, totalitarianism, and ochlocracy challenge democratic ideals. It traces these governance forms from ancient to modern times, highlighting the impact of socio-economic transitions, including shifts towards high-tech capitalism and evolving cultural norms around equality and secular ethics. The author illustrates how difficulties in these transitions can lead to the rise of undemocratic governance, threatening democratic stability globally.
