The next section is about the fall of democracy and the rise of totalitarianism in the world.
The author argues a stable democracy only works in times of prosperity. But we're now facing a world which is increasingly unstable and unpredictable.
People believe voting for a "strong leader" is the wise choice when pandemics and crop failures are increasingly common and wars loom.
Whether these strong leaders are able to fulfill their promises of increased stability doesn't seem to matter much.
