Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith's canonical book on
political science turned conventional wisdom on its head. They
started from a single assertion: leaders do whatever keeps them in
power. They don't care about the ",national interest",-or even
their subjects-unless they must.Newly updated to reflect the global
rise of authoritarianism, this clever and accessible book
illustrates how leaders amass and retain power. As Bueno de
Mesquita and Smith show, democracy is essentially just a convenient
fiction. Governments do not differ in kind, but only in the number
of essential supporters or backs that need scratching.The size of
this group determines almost everything about politics: what
leaders can get away with, and the quality of life or misery under
them. And it is also the key to returning power to the people.
