Samuel Issacharoff's book "Democracy Unmoored: Populism and the Corruption of Popular Sovereignty" provides an in-depth analysis of political populism as a threat to democracy worldwide. Issacharoff argues that populist leaders exploit democratic weaknesses to gain power and undermine institutional constraints. While his work offers valuable insights, some critics argue that he conflates populism with corruption, demagoguery, and other political phenomena. Despite these criticisms, Issacharoff's book sheds light on the challenges posed by populism and offers institutional solutions to protect democracy. [Extracted from the article]
