Ece Temelkuran How to Lose Country Seven Steps From Democracy to Dictatorship Book

Product description from producer

Even if you choose to stay out of politics, the proponents of populism will still find you. Armed with their own set of values and technologies, they infiltrate governments and control the lives of millions, disguising dictatorship as democracy. Debates, agreements, arguments and counter-arguments - using examples from various countries, Ece Temelkuran has traced the general pattern of the rise of right-wing populism and identified the "seven steps of a populist leader" - seven steps to transform from buffoon to dictator. The author brings together states that have already suffered from this madness with the experience of Western countries whose resistance continues. The political world needs cooperation and global dialog. It demands real democracy, not its ersatz. And it is this book that humbly calls for that conversation to begin.
