Can It Happen Here? - by Cass R Sunstein (Paperback)

The book "Can It Happen Here?" by Cass R.

Sunstein is a thought-provoking collection of essays that explore the lessons of history, how democracies crumble, how propaganda works, and the role of the media, courts, elections, and 'fake news' in the modern political landscape--and what the future of the United States may hold.

With the election of Donald J.

Trump, many people on both the left and right feared that America's 240-year-old grand experiment in democracy was coming to an end, and that Sinclair Lewis' satirical novel, It Can't Happen Here, written during the dark days of the 1930s, could finally be coming true.

This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the state of American democracy and the potential for authoritarianism to take hold in the United States.

The contributors include some of the nation's leading thinkers and theorists, such as Martha Minow, Eric Posner, Timur Kuran, Noah Feldman, Jonathan Haidt, Jack Goldsmith, Stephen Holmes, Jon Elster, Thomas Ginsburg, Cass R.

Sunstein, Duncan Watts, Geoffrey R.

Stone, and more.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors that can lead to the erosion of democracy and offers insights into how to protect American democracy from these threats.

With its timely and thought-provoking essays, "Can It Happen Here?" is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the current political landscape and the future of American democracy.
