Autocracy Inc: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World by Anne Applebaum (2024)
Discussion Leader: David Milne
Pulitzer prize-winning author Anne Applebaum unpacks the modern world of autocracy in a short and straightforward way. Stripping away ideological pretensions, she shows that autocratic regimes are surprisingly similar extractive systems that are even mutually reinforcing in today’s global economy. All are kleptocracies eager to profit from rich democratic countries and to undermine their foundations. She argues for a vigorous Western response to rising autocracies, but with President Donald Trump once more in power in 2025, this strategy may now face serious obstacles.
