The very future of American democracy is at stake in the coming midterm election. Is this an exaggeration? Or are we in a period of democratic backsliding? Helping us decide is Professor Steven Levitsky, who has studied democracy and authoritarianism around the world. Steve is the David Rockefeller Professor of Latin American Studies and a Professor of Government at Harvard University. He’s also co-author of several successful books, including two New York Times bestsellers: How Democracies Die and, most recently, Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point.
