Anne Applebaum and Ruth Ben-Ghiat in Conversation: Autocracy, Inc.

92NY Talks

In this episode of 92NY Talks, join Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author Anne Applebaum in conversation with historian and MSNBC opinion columnist Ruth Ben-Ghiat on the recent alarming rise of dictatorships across the world — and her new book, Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World. They discuss the book’s genesis from her widely-read Atlantic piece, “There is No Liberal World Order,” and how ordinary American citizens can take action and demand that our leaders stand up for democratic ideals. The conversation was recorded on July 22, 2024 in front of a live audience at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
