## Description

Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World [Applebaum, Anne] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World

Review: Very well researched and clearly written - I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started Anne Applebaum’s book on autocrats and autocracies. I had read her book, Iron Curtain, on how the Soviet Union took over Eastern Europe after WW II, and what it was like from the point of view of the regular person, but this book is different. Autocracy, Inc examines how the various autocrats around the globe are currently working together to stay in power, so when one autocratic leader gets in trouble or needs help another autocratic nation comes to the rescue. The last chapter or two was interesting in that Applebaum, who has studied and written about modern Communism for a long time, says that what is happening in the United States right now is nothing like we have every experienced, so that looking backwards for answers and comparisons may not be helpful. She talked about how the autocratic nations have moved on, from portraying their governments as ideal, because people could easily see that they weren’t telling the truth, to portraying the opposition as worse….sounds like trump. One insight she offers is that the democracies of the world need to start working together. They currently are not, not as much as they could be, and are getting overpowered. She briefly wrote about Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan’s success in debunking Russian lies before they hit the news, called “pre-bunking”. She has pivoted her attention to trump in the USA, because after studying Communism and autocracy for many years in Europe and other parts of the world, it unexpectedly came home. The audiobook is a little less than 5 hours long, and Applebaum herself narrates it. I always appreciate it when the author reads their own writing. Very well researched and clearly written

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paints some frightening pictures.
*by W***M on August 4, 2024*

In her latest offering, “Autocracy, Inc.,” historian and author Anne Applebaum explains which nations have become autocracies, how they now work together, who their leaders are, and the various strategies and tactics they currently employ to undermine and destroy democracy around the world. Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, and many others have no interest in protecting human rights, only in fostering their own sovereignty, i.e., their ability to control world events. Those who lead these autocracies care little for the welfare of the people they govern. As autocrats, they aim to amass absolute power. As kleptocrats, they build vast personal fortunes from monies stolen from their country's treasuries and citizens. And while Western politicians decry their abuses, Western bankers and businesspeople help them to hide what they’ve stolen. Well-researched and clearly written, Ms. Applebaum's 180-page treatise paints some frightening pictures. Readers interested in foreign relations, world affairs, the future of democracy, and possibly, the next great battle, will want to give it a try.
