Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : I feel like the Cold War was one particular period where America wasn't perfect, but we were for freedom and the Soviets were for the other thing, for communism and dictatorship.
51% : It's happening because there is this kind of drift towards nationalism and authoritarianism, for a lot of reasons that I described in the book.
46% : And the same conflicts over nationalism versus democracy, authoritarianism versus the capacity of people to have individual rights, those things are constantly playing themselves out through history.
44% : I think the takeaway from this book is, you've got people like Orbán, who kind of represent how nationalism has gotten a foothold again all over the world.
39% : That's kind of where the future is going, where you blend together capitalism and technology with this really totalitarian and intrusive government.
