Four Threats
Book • 2020
In *Four Threats*, Suzanne Mettler and Robert C. Lieberman examine five tumultuous periods in American history when democracy was under siege, identifying four recurring threats: political polarization, conflict over who belongs in the political community, economic inequality, and excessive executive power.
The book provides a historical context to understand the contemporary challenges facing American democracy, where all four threats converge for the first time.
