Daniel Ziblatt e Steven Levitsky - Como Morrem as Democracias

A revealing look at the end of democracies around the world — and a guide to rescuing them.

New York Times Bestseller
The presidency of Donald Trump raised a question many never thought to ask: Is American democracy in danger? Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, both professors at Harvard, have dedicated more than 20 years to studying the fall of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and believe the answer to that question is "yes."

Democracies no longer collapse through revolution or coup d'état; they fall gradually, through the weakening of fundamental institutions, such as the courts and the media, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. But all is not lost. Authoritarianism can be reversed.

The book to read about the current state of American politics! Based on decades of research and presenting several historical examples from around the world (Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Peru, among other countries), the authors show how democracies die and how American democracy can be saved.

"Impressive. A provocative analysis of the parallels between the rise of Donald Trump and the fall of other democracies." - Kirkus Reviews
