Product description

Isbn: 9781802062120 Author: anne applebaum Publisher: penguin books uk Language: english Binding: paperback Summary: **a sunday times bestseller****an economist best book of the year**the celebrated historian and journalist uncovers the networks trying to destroy the democratic worldall of us have in our minds a cartoon image of what an autocratic state looks like, with a bad man at the top.

but in the 21st century, that cartoon bears little resemblance to reality.

nowadays, autocracies are not run by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services and professional propagandists.

the members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries.

yolsuzluğa yatan, devlet kontrolü altındaki şirketler bir rejimde iş yapar, yolsuzluğa yatan, devlet kontrolü altındaki şirketler ise başka bir rejimde iş yapar.

the police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists share resources - the troll farms that promote one dictator's propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of another - and themes, hammering home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of america.

Unlike military or political alliances from other times and places, this group does not operate like a bloc, but rather like an agglomeration of companies: autocracy, inc.

Their relations are not based on values, but rather transactional, which is why they operate so easily across ideological, geographical, and cultural lines. In truth, they are in full agreement about only one thing: their dislike of us, the inhabitants of the democratic world, and their desire to see both our political systems and our values eroded.

that shared understanding of the world-where it comes from, why it lasts, how it works, how the democratic world has unknowingly helped to consolidate it, and how we can help bring it down-is the subject of this book.
