Abstract
Death By A Thousand Cuts shows how neuroscience can help us understand why people willingly give up their democratic rights or are unwillingly forced to do so.
Combining historical context and neurological evidence on a much-discussed topic: the threat of democracy, this book outlines when and why democracy is in danger of collapsing and alert them to the warning signs of its demise, and provides neurobiological insights into the physiological structures that account for support for dictators.
