The People vs. Democracy

In *The People vs.

Democracy*, Yascha Mounk examines the rise of authoritarian populism and the breakdown of liberal democracy.

He argues that two core components of liberal democracy—individual rights and the popular will—are increasingly at odds, leading to systems of 'rights without democracy' and 'democracy without rights.

' Mounk identifies key drivers of this crisis, including economic stagnation, fear of multiethnic democracy, and the impact of social media.
