Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World by Anne Applebaum |
In this masterful tour d’horizon of the world’s political woes and the villains behind them, the author paints a chilling picture of the links between dubious regimes and the international criminal community. The tide of democracy has turned, elections have become shams and government corruption has become a growing worldwide industry. She offers no antidotes except to exhort democracies, if they are to survive, to reframe our world view and learn how to fight back.
