    Bookstores across DC, NYC, Boston, etc. are brimming with same. Panicked urban and exurban professionals are so easily dupedhttps://twitter.com/BrankoMilan/status/1002533683113484288 …

    Michael Tracey added,

    Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan
    In a bookstore in Amsterdam. Books with titles "How democracy dies", "People vs. democracy", "Fascism" "Is this how democracy ends". When in ten years, they will have all proven wrong, who will read them? Or perhaps the authors do not care if they are successful TODAY.

        The NYT bestseller list is stacked with gossipy White House “tell alls” with no enduring value. Sad.

        These "how democracy dies" books are marketed as more enduring and profound, but in 10 years they'll be looked back on as ridiculous. My prediction.

        @BrankoMilan or may be the increased awareness of such threats through these books amongst the more educated, results in more civic activism thus preventing such autocracies to come by.

        Parents separated from kids, some people declared not humans, etc. Is that being duped?
