Description
Who are the new autocrats and what’s their playbook?
We are now living in the era of the strongman - and every dictator has built on the accomplishments of his predecessors.
Hitler watched Mussolini, and Gaddafi learned from Lt Col Gamal Abdul Nasser.

Malcolm talks with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Author of Author, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present about how the new high-tech autocrats are gaining popularity.
