DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS - MATT QVORTRUP KARTON...

According to Plato  democracies die when people get angry. Resentment causes them to vote for
demagogues. Recently  democratically elected politicians have used crises as a pretext for
dismantling democracy  following a pattern we have seen since the dawn of civilization. Why do
people fall for the lure of dictatorships? And what can we learn from the cause and effects of
dictatorships to understand why democracies die? In this new edition of Matt Qvortrup's
acclaimed monograph Death By A Thousand Cuts  the author shows how neuroscience can help us
understand why people willingly give up their democratic rights or are unwillingly forced to do
so. Death by a Thousand Cuts: Neuropolitics  Thymos  and the Slow Demise of Democracy is
written in an accessible style with vignettes and new empirical data to provide historical
context and neurological evidence on a much-discussed topic: the threat of democracy. This book
will help readers who are concerned about the longevity of democracy understand when and why
democracy is in danger of collapsing and alert them to the warning signs of its demise.
