The Road to Authoritarianism: Are We There Yet?
Three authors on democratic erosion. Historian Timothy W. Ryback's 53 Days: How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy shows how Hitler used constitutional means to purge the civil service, shut down the press and take dictatorial powers. Omer Aziz's Shadows of the Republic examines the far right's pull on young people, and journalist Casey Michel's United States of Oligarchy traces how America's wealthiest ally with dictators. GBH News's Jennifer Moore moderates.
