- Summary:
- This book analyzes the several significant factors that influenced the cultural environment to move American democracy toward authoritarianism. The author hypothesizes that growing xenophobia, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 recession, and neoliberal economic philosophy were the shocks that made possible a lurch toward autocratic democracy.
