An Evening with Daniel Ziblatt
“How Democracies Die” Book Launch
Occidental Center for the Arts
Friday, May 18th, 2018 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Please join us for this special event featuring Occidental native Daniel Ziblatt. Harmony school alum and current Harvard Professor of Government, Mr. Ziblatt has recently co-authored international best-selling “How Democracies Die” with Steven Levitsky.
In this book, Ziblatt and co-author Steven Levitsky offer a bracing, revelatory look at the demise of liberal democracies around the world—and a road map for rescuing our own.
“Many Americans are justifiably frightened by what is happening to our country. But protecting our democracy requires more than just fright or outrage. We must see how, historically, citizens have risen to meet the great democratic crises of the past, overcoming their own deep-seated divisions to avert breakdown. History doesn’t repeat itself. But it rhymes. The promise of history, and the hope of this book, is that we can find the rhymes before it is too late.”
Mr Ziblatt will share his insights on the book and sign copies.
