In this razor-sharp analysis, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer an urgent warning about right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system. With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, Levitsky and Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples from the Capitol riots to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand -to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy.

Tyranny of the Minority focuses on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, making an urgent call for a reform that will balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens' movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it's too late. This is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy and to understand where future threats may come from.
