Discover the hidden networks of modern dictatorships and protect democracy!

Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World by one of today’s most respected historians and journalists reveals a fascinating yet alarming truth about how 21st-century autocratic regimes operate. This book offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the power structures that threaten the democratic world.

In modern autocracies, it’s no longer just a single bad person in power; it’s about sophisticated, interconnected networks that include kleptocratic financial structures, security services, and professional propagandists. These networks operate across national borders, cooperating and supporting one another to advance their interests-often at the expense of democracy and freedom. Autocracy, Inc. frames this phenomenon as a corporate-like entity that transcends ideological differences, united instead by a shared hostility toward the democratic world and a desire to destabilize it.

The book explains in detail how these autocratic systems function, why they are so resilient, and how democratic societies have, often unwittingly, helped consolidate them. It offers not only an understanding of this threat but also ways to confront it and help democratic values survive and grow stronger.
