795: Alastair Smith | The Dictator's Handbook Part Two

Alastair Smith is the Bernhardt Denmark Chair of International Relations at New York University, professor of political science in the Wilf Family Department of Politics, and co-author (with Bruce Bueno de Mesquita) of The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics.

  • Why do dictators consistently hate freedom, the media, and seemingly their own citizens?
  • Why does bad behavior so often make for good politics — even in the most progressive nations?

  • And much more...
