À propos de cet audio

The future of democracy is uncertain.

Populist world leaders are dominating headlines and creating a new kind of politics that challenges democratic values and the liberal order.

They influence the media, exert economic power, appoint judges, cultivate populism and seek to undermine the very institutions which brought them into power.

In this gripping narrative, Misha Glenny, journalist and best-selling author of McMafia, tells the stories of six strongmen's unexpected rise.

Whatever your taste in bygone times, we've got some compelling history podcasts here, some light and humorous, some stuff you missed in history class in high school, but all ripe for learning more about the backstory on how we got where we are today.

Terrific look at how these "iron men" have spun events in their favour to cement dictatorships where once there was democracy. So.. both terrific and terrifying. Democracy requires constant care and vigilance, as we know from recent history. Really helped me understand the dynamics of current political unrest in the world, and set me off to do quite a lot more reading on some of these men. And they are all men.
