"Unnoticed by most political scientists, a form of undemocratic liberalism has taken root in North America and Western Europe."
Yascha Mounk is a political scientist and public intellectual known for his analysis of the threats to liberal democracy. A Professor at Johns Hopkins and founder of the online magazine Persuasion, he argues that identity-based ideologies can undermine democratic norms and social cohesion.
In books like The People vs. Democracy, The Great Experiment, and The Identity Trap, Mounk explores how populism and identity politics endanger free speech and democratic institutions. His work has shaped international debate and is widely regarded as essential reading on the future of democracy.
“Mounk is among the first to sound the alarm about authoritarian populism on both the right and left.” — Democracy Paradox
