Reviews

An exceptionally perceptive and wide-ranging book . . . [that lays] out an ambitious fifteen-plank project of democratic renewal
*TLS*

Concise, readable, and convincing
*author of Twilight of Democracy*

Old democracies tend to last, and so do rich democracies, Levitsky and Ziblatt point out in this searing, unsettling, and essential new book, but American democracy, which is both old and rich, is dying. In Tyranny of the Minority, they explain why, and they explain, too, how to save it
*author of These Truths*

Ziblatt and Levitsky are two of America’s very best comparative political scientists, with expertise that makes them uniquely well-equipped for the subject they’re examining . . . Tyranny of the Minority is an exceptional book, one of the best guides out there to the crisis of American democracy
