The Dictator's Handbook by Alastair Smith and Bruce Bueno de Mesquita

The Dictator’s Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith offers a provocative analysis of political power dynamics. The authors argue that leaders, whether in democracies or autocracies, prioritize maintaining power over national interest. Central to their thesis is the "selectorate theory," which posits that the size of a leader's essential support group influences their governance strategies. This insightful work challenges conventional views on leadership and governance.
