Autocracy Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World

The dictators of the past were easy to identify by their violent tactics. But today’s dictators are financial structures designed to steal from everyday people, surveillance networks and sophisticated propaganda — and include corrupt companies around the world, as Anne Applebaum explores in Autocracy. These autocrats share one thing: a desire for power and money — and the ability to get away with it. If you sometimes ask yourself why you work so hard to build a Social Capital company, Applebaum’s work will remind you of why it’s so important for business leaders to offer an alternative. Our future depends on it.
