A contrarian yet highly engaging account of the spread of illiberal and anti-democratic sentiment throughout our culture that places responsibility on the citizens themselves.Over the past three decades, citizens of democracies who claim to value freedom, tolerance, and the rule of law have increasingly embraced illiberal politicians and platforms. Democracy is in trouble--but who is really to blame?In Our Own Worst Enemy, Tom Nichols challenges the current depictions of the rise of illiberal and anti-democratic movements in the United States and elsewhere as the result of the deprivations of globalization or the malign decisions of elites. Rather, he places the blame for the rise of illiberalism on the people themselves. Nichols traces the illiberalism of the 21st century to the growth of unchecked narcissism, rising standards of living, global peace, and a resistance to change. Ordinary citizens, laden with grievances, have joined forces with political entrepreneurs who thrive on the creation of rage rather than on the encouragement of civic virtue and democratic cooperation. While it will be difficult, Nichols argues that we need to defend democracy by resurrecting the virtues of altruism, compromise, stoicism, and cooperation--and by recognizing how good we've actually had it in the modern world.Trenchant, contrarian, and highly engaging, Our Own Worst Enemy reframes the debate about how democracies have ended up in this dire state of affairs and what to do about it.

I read the author's previous book, The Death of Expertise, and agreed with his analysis. This book, Our Own Worst Enemy, seems to be a follow-up, although this book seems more impressionistic and more pessimistic. However, it is hard to argue with his description of the current American cultural/political crisis. I agree that too many Americans have a poor understanding of how the government works and don't seem to care, either. (I shouldn't be surprised if I think back to my senior year American Government class (1973), and how most of the class had a hard time naming the three branches of the U.S. government.) Especially interesting to me was the study of the dysfunctional Italian village, which I had never heard of-- it put me in mind of Fellini's village in his film Amarcord, although life in Fellini's village wasn't quite so bleak. The author's points about unearned nostalgia and widespread decadence were interesting, too. Those deserve further exploration. It's a sad state of affairs, but perhaps the darkest hour is just before the dawn. I sure hope so.
