Description

What is authoritarianism? And what made people give others the power to rule over them?

Unchallenged authority serves at the heart of authoritarianism. In an age of democracy, authoritarianism is often met with stark criticism, whether the discussion is on tyranny, the psychology of totalitarianism, or how democracies die.

Can authoritarian regimes be successful in the eyes of their citizens? Some nations thrive under authoritarian rule, while others have numerous issues leading to uprisings and protests.

In this book we will study and analyze past empires such as The Akkadian, Achaemenian, Mauryan, Roman, and Ottoman Empire, to better understand the evolution of power.

This book explores some of the factors that have historically been the sources of legitimacy for authoritarian regimes worldwide. You will discover:

What made individuals realize the need for power or authority to rule over them? Did this mean they thought they were free while under this authority?

The blow to authoritarianism - from the English Magna Carta to the Bill of Rights

And much more.
