Democracy Under Threat: Anne Applebaum and Timothy Snyder

We’re bringing you a special episode of a show we love!From The Paul Wells Show, two acclaimed historians talk about the state of democracy and freedom in the world today.In her latest book, Autocracy Inc., Anne Applebaum writes about a group of dictators who share a bond that’s not based on ideology, but on their ability to help each other gain wealth, power and impunity. Yale historian Timothy Synder, author of the new book On Freedom, argues that freedom is more than the absence of oppression. He shares his vision for freedom in the wake of a recent trip to Ukraine. The Paul Wells Show is produced by Antica Productions.Host: Paul WellsCredits: Kevin Sexton (Producer), Stuart Cox (Executive Producer), Laura Regehr (ANTICA Head of Audio)Guest: Anne Applebaum, Timothy Synder   If you value this podcast, Support us!
