Examining the threats to democracy in the 21st century, this book delves into the rise of oligarchy, tyranny, totalitarianism, and ochlocracy, tracing their historical roots in ancient and medieval societies. It highlights how contemporary socio-economic shifts, including the transition to high-tech capitalism and evolving cultural norms around equality and secular ethics, challenge democratic structures. The author argues that when these transitions falter, undemocratic governance can prevail, emphasizing the fragile nature of modern democracy amidst these changes.
