I wrote this article in answer to this repeated student question in my @blavatnikschool.bsky.social classroom: does democracy deliver?
People are losing faith in democracy’s ability to deliver social progress. But are democracies better than autocracies at promoting economic growth, alleviating poverty, and creating healthier, more educated, and more peaceful societies? On all counts, the answer is yes.

Exactly. We need clear-eyed assessments.
Your periodic reminder: Don’t fall into the trap of admiring Chinese authoritarianism simply because American democracy is facing serious challenges.

For all my @blavatnikschool.bsky.social students who are preparing to write memos in the comings weeks, worthwhile thread from a key scholar of autocracies.
Weak autocracies are far more common than strong autocracies.
They are also often far more dangerous and damaging than strong autocracies.
Never take hope from an autocrat’s weakness. Instead, prepare for the worst.
A 🧵 based on 2 of my books: (1/N)
