Anne Applebaum: The Rise Of American Autocracy
The rise American autocracy is happening before our eyes because of the "growth of dark money and the lack of transparency in politics," according to expert Anne Applebaum.
Applebaum's new book "Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World" gives a frightening overview of how modern dictators work together to crush democracy. The Pulitzer-prize winning author lays out the new tactics autocrats use to take over the world and offers ways that democracies can rally to defeat them. On her website, the New York Times bestselling author describes how the modern autocrats are different from the dictators of the 20th century. Applebaum writes,"The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren’t linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity."
