    • The Yale Club of Germany | Tyranny of the Minority: An Evening with Daniel Ziblatt

      May 16, 2024
      Starts at 1:00PM
      Online / Munich, Germany
      Add to Calendar 2024-05-16T13:00:00 2024-05-16T13:00:00 America/New_York The Yale Club of Germany | Tyranny of the Minority: An Evening with Daniel Ziblatt America is at a crossroads: It will either become a multiracial democracy or cease to be a democracy at all. Join us for an evening with Daniel Ziblatt, Eaton Professor of the Science of Government at Harvard University and co-author with Steven Levitsky of the global bestseller How Democracies Die (described by The Economist in 2021 as arguably the most important book of the Trump era and translated into over 20 languages). His new book, together with his co-author Steven Levitsky, is Tyranny of the Minority, already a huge bestseller around the world. The German release is this week and promises to be another Spiegel Bestseller for the authors. They draw on a wealth of examples—from 1930s France to present-day Thailand—to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. They then show how the United States Constitution makes it uniquely vulnerable to attacks from within. Most modern democracies—from Germany and Sweden to Argentina and New Zealand—have eliminated outdated institutions like elite upper chambers, indirect elections, and lifetime tenure for judges. The United States lags dangerously behind. Together with Levitsky, Ziblatt issues an urgent call to perfect our national experiment. Join us to hear his thoughts about what is so horribly wrong, and what can be done to fix it. Online / Munich, Germany — Karolinenplatz 3 false
