From Hitler to now – How autocrats and dictators have evolved

When we discuss dictators and autocrats, we often think of those of the past. But, with the world increasingly turning away from democracy, how do they behave differently now compared to the 20th century? Jacob Jarvis is joined by Daniel Treisman, professor of political science at the University of California and co-author of Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century, to discuss.  Buy Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale.
