Summary:
"From author of the Globe and Mail bestseller, Claws of the Panda, comes a book quite literally for our times, a thoughtful account of how we can save democracies from the despots and
populists
who provide the easy answers to complicated situations, dumbing political discourse down to sandbox antics. Manthorpe argues that
democracy
is more resilient than it appears, and is capable of overcoming the attacks from within and without that have sapped its vigour since the end of the Cold War. Russia and China have met with considerable success in their attacks on
democracy
. As well, internal pressures and contradictions, wealth disparity chief among them, feed the
populists
who spout platitudes to abandoned workers without actually offering them ways to catch up. Adding to the pressures building on the political norms of our democracies, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a kind of economic and social stand-still for which no country is prepared.
Restoring
Democracy
sets out the key dangers and what we as individuals as well as societies can do to protect it.
