The People vs. Democracy

The People vs. Democracy is a non-fiction book published by Harvard University Press in December 2017. Written by Yascha Mounk, the book offers a diagnosis of the current split between liberalism and democracy. It discusses two troubling patterns that have emerged: "democracy without rights," where democratically elected leaders impinge on minority rights, and "rights without democracy," where individual votes have little effect on outcomes. Combining reportage and original research, the book aims to explain today's challenging political climate and propose a path forward for liberal democracy.
