The Dictator's Handbook Andrew Heaton, Alastair Smith
Alistair Smith proposes that the only real thing governments differ on is how many selectors are needed for a leader to gain and keep power–everything is window dressing.
He advocates for understanding politics realistically and strategically, and designing our systems around the idea that leaders are self interested.
