Summary:
"Moisés Naím's The
Revenge
of
Power
is an urgent, thrilling, and original look at the future of democracy. It illuminates one of the most important battles of our time: the future of freedom and
how
to contain and defeat the
autocrats
mushrooming around the world. In his New York Times bestselling book The End of
Power
, Moisés Naím examined power-diluting forces. In The
Revenge
of
Power
, Naím turns to the trends, conditions, and behaviors that are contributing to the concentration of
power
, and to the clash between those the forces that weaken
power
and those that strengthen it. He concentrates on the three 'P's-populism, polarization, and post-truths. All of which are as old as time, but are combined by today's
autocrats
to undermine democratic life in new and frightening ways.
Power
has not changed. But the way people go about gaining it and using it has been transformed. The
Revenge
of
Power
connects the dots between global events and political tactics that, when taken together, show a profound and often stealthy transformation in
power
and
politics
worldwide. Using the best available data and insights taken from recent research in the social sciences, Naím reveals
how
, on close examination, the same set of strategies to consolidate
power
pop up again and again in places with vastly different political, economic, and social circumstances, and offers insights about what can be done to ensure that freedom and democracy prevail. The outcomes of these battles for
power
will determine if our future will be more autocratic or more democratic. These outcomes will, in turn, depend on the capacity of our democracies to survive the attacks and dirty tricks of autocratic leaders bent on weakening the checks and balances that limit their
power
. Naím addresses the questions at the heart of the matter: What are, in practice, those attacks and tricks? Why is
power
concentrating in some places while in others it is fragmenting and degrading? And the big question: What is the future of freedom?"--Publisher.
