"In 'Save Our Democracy,' bestselling authors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, renowned Harvard professors and political scientists, delve into the complex challenges facing American democracy today. They examine the unprecedented shift towards a multiracial democracy and the authoritarian backlash it has triggered. Drawing on historical examples from around the world, the authors explore how political parties can undermine democratic principles and reveal how the U.S. Constitution's outdated institutions create vulnerabilities. While highlighting the progress made by other nations in reforming their systems, Levitsky and Ziblatt argue that the United States must urgently reform its political institutions to secure its democratic future. 'Save Our Democracy' serves as a clarion call to action, urging readers to confront the threat to democracy and embrace the possibility of a more inclusive future."
