The Revenge Of Power by Moisés Naím
The book argues that the long-term retreat of concentrated power has been reversing as autocrats, oligarchs and powerful states cleverly adapt to the modern era, using technology, globalization and new financial and legal instruments to rebuild influence and evade constraints. These actors combine surveillance, disinformation, lawfare, market manipulation and cyber tools to shape public opinion and weaken checks and balances while often preserving a façade of democratic legitimacy. At the same time, complacent democracies and fractured institutions have struggled to update rules for a more interconnected, digital world. The author maps the pragmatic strategies and networks that define this resurgence and urges democracies to recognize these tactics and respond with smarter institutions, greater transparency and renewed commitment to accountability.
