Ill Winds: Saving Democracy from Russian Rage, Chinese Ambition, and American Complacency Free Audiobook Download by Larry Diamond

Even in the face of Russian aggression and Chinese ambitions, it is America's complacency that most concerns Larry Diamond. His book, "Ill Winds: Saving Democracy from Russian Rage, Chinese Ambition, and American Complacency" is an urgent call to action.

'Ill Winds: Saving Democracy from Russian Rage, Chinese Ambition, and American Complacency' is a book about a growing threat to the stability of democracy. It is about how a series of crises in the international system has led to an environment where liberal democracies are insecure and at risk of losing relevance. The book is also about how there are important implications for U.S. foreign policy as well as for global progress on measures such as climate change, poverty, and health.

The author, Larry Diamond, examines the many threats that have been facing democracy in the recent years. These include Russian rage, Chinese ambition, and American complacency. The goal of the book is to educate readers on how to better protect democracy from these dangers. It focuses on five key areas: What is at stake? The contradictions of liberal internationalism How do we improve democratic performance? What must we defend? From where does hope come?

There is a lack of real attention to this view. The masses, as Diamond argues, are preoccupied with day-to-day life and worry about themselves that they don't spend enough time thinking about how the world is changing. They trust the government to manage these problems but are too complacent and don't bother to look for other solutions.

In a deeply disturbing and prophetic book, Larry Diamond argues that none of the threats to American democracy emanate from abroad. He asserts that Russia's ruling oligarchs, China's repressive government and even Trump are manageable risks while our complacency is a ticking time bomb.

“Not since 1946 has the United States been so ill-prepared for a war and for a world in which it faces new threats.”
