Our own worst enemy : the assault from within on modern democracy / Tom Nichols. by Nichols, Thomas M., 1960- author. New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2021] Subjects Democracy -- United States.   United States -- Politics and government. ISBN:  9780197518878 (hardcover) : 0197518877 (hardcover) : Description:  xvii, 245 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  1 Summary:  "Over the past three decades, citizens of democracies who claim to value freedom, tolerance, and the rule of law have increasingly embraced illiberal politicians and platforms. Democracy is in trouble--but who is really to blame? In Our Own Worst Enemy, Tom Nichols challenges the current depictions of the rise of illiberal and anti-democratic movements in the United States and elsewhere as the result of the deprivations of globalization or the malign decisions of elites. Rather, he places the blame for the rise of illiberalism on the people themselves. Nichols traces the illiberalism of the 21st century to the growth of unchecked narcissism, rising standards of living, global peace, and a resistance to change. Ordinary citizens, laden with grievances, have joined forces with political entrepreneurs who thrive on the creation of rage rather than on the encouragement of civic virtue and democratic cooperation. While it will be difficult, Nichols argues that we need to defend democracy by resurrecting the virtues of altruism, compromise, stoicism, and cooperation--and by recognizing how good we've actually had it in the modern world. Trenchant, contrarian, and highly engaging, Our Own Worst Enemy reframes the debate about how democracies have ended up in this dire state of affairs and what to do about it."--Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.473 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.473 Nichols Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.473 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.473 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.473 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList
