How to Make Love to a Despot

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Stephen D. Krasner explores the significant financial investments the United States has made in foreign economies since World War II, aimed at promoting democracy and stability. Despite these efforts, the returns have been disheartening, with interventions often leading to increased casualties and ineffective governance. Krasner argues against the growing calls to withdraw assistance from undemocratic nations, emphasizing that weak states pose a real threat to global security, especially in a world fraught with nuclear and biological risks.
