Summary of moisés naím's the revenge of power

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Autocrats are political leaders who reach power through a fairly democratic election, and then set out to dismantle the checks on executive power through populism, polarization, and post-truth. #2 The second strategy used to gain and keep power is polarization. Relentlessly demonizing opponents and portraying wedge issues that divide the nation are the divisive tactics that often yield great results. #3 Polarization eliminates the possibility of a middle ground, pushing every single person and organization to take sides. In our age, it is facilitated by the dynamics of fandom and identity. #4 The 3P framework is a system for taking, wielding, and maintaining unlimited power in a world that doesn't recognize that kind of power as legitimate. It solves that problem by faking fealty to the liberal consensus, all the while eating away at it from the inside.
