Books I’ve recently read and highly recommend on the challenges to democracy.
Jane Mayer’s Dark Money goes deep into how politics in the US is now controlled by a few billionaires.
Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt’s How Democracies Die.
Barbara Walter’s How Civil Wars Start suggests the US could see another civil war.
Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow details how the war on drugs is used to legalize discrimination and strip African Americans of power.
