The Great Experiment: Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart and How They Can Endure 

byYascha Mounk

Yascha Mounk's The Great Experiment investigates why diverse democracies fall apart and how they can endure, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, The Great Experiment moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing The Great Experiment within political science and social science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. The Great Experiment emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
