The election of Donald Trump in the US and the rise of populism across the western world has led to a torrent of books questioning the future of democracy. They include How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt; The People Vs Democracy, by Yascha Mounk; On Tyranny, by Timothy Snyder; Fascism: A Warning, by Madeleine Albright; and The Retreat of Western Liberalism, by the Financial Times’s Edward Luce.
