Our Own Worst Enemy
The Assault from within on Modern Democracy
Nichols argues the threat to democracy comes less from tyrants than from bored, resentful citizens.
Tom Nichols turns the usual diagnosis around: modern democracy is endangered less by dictators or foreign interference than by its own citizens, made resentful, bored and narcissistic by prosperity. An uncomfortable argument, aimed squarely at the reader. Arnold Schwarzenegger chose it as his book of the month in April 2022.
