Description
"In the last twenty years, nations including India, Russia, China, and the United Arab Emirates have disproved the idea that capitalism and democracy are inextricably linked. Emerging middle classes have proven themselves all too willing to sacrifice certain democratic rights - including free speech, an open media, and free elections - in exchange for prosperity. But they are not alone. We are all doing it. Alarmingly, Western democracy has adopted some of the attributes of that authoritarianism." "Combining boots-on-the-ground reporting with incisive analysis, award-winning journalist John Kampfner describes this alarming trend - one that has been only exacerbated by the global economic meltdown - and what citizens must do to counter it."--Jacket.
