How will democracy end? And what will replace it? A preeminent political scientist examines the past, present, and future of an endangered political philosophy
Since the end of World War II, democracy’s sweep across the globe seemed inexorable. Yet today, it seems radically imperiled, even in some of the world’s most stable democracies. How bad could things get?
In How Democracy Ends, David Runciman argues that we are trapped in outdated twentieth-century ideas of democratic failure. By fixating on coups and violence, we are focusing on the wrong threats. Our societies are too affluent, too elderly, and too networked to fall apart as they did in the past. We need new ways of thinking the unthinkable–a twenty-first-century vision of the end of democracy, and whether its collapse might allow us to learn from our catastrophic mistakes and forge something better?
A provocative book by a major political philosopher, How Democracy Ends asks the most trenchant questions that underlie the disturbing patterns of our contemporary political life.

Thanks for this, Runciman is a substantial thinker. It’s worth pointing out that the death knell was sounded for democracy before, during the 1930s when it was dismissed as moribund, too slow to respond to the devastating finanial crises of the time. Other, undemocratic, seemingly more technocratic systems were the future. But they ended in the dustbin of history - democracy defeated them all.

Democracy is a powerful idea not implemented at All anywhere in the world… When a government false flag you into submitting does it really matter that you voted for them? Democracy to function requires an informed public and nowadays the public is just misinform , manufacturing consent is the name of the game
