Who are the new autocrats and what’s their playbook?

We are now living in the era of the strongman - and every dictator has built on the accomplishments of his predecessors.

Hitler watched Mussolini, and Gaddafi learned from Lt Col Gamal Abdul Nasser.

So why, despite the evidence of history, do strongmen still hold such appeal for us? What does the playbook reveal about Donald Trump’s run for the 2024 Presidency?

Malcolm talks with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Author of Author, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present about how the new high-tech autocrats are gaining popularity.
