    JAKE SIEWERT: Hello everyone, and welcome to Talks at GS. I'm Jake Siewert, Global Head of Corporate Communications here at the firm. And I'm delighted today to be joined by Anne Applebaum. Anne is a staff writer for The Atlantic and a Pulitzer Prize winning historian for the book Gulag. Her latest book is called Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism. Anne, thank you so much for joining us today. ANNE APPLEBAUM: Thank you for having me. JAKE SIEWERT: There was a quote in the book that somewhat encapsulates your thesis, "Given the right conditions, any society can turn against democracy. Indeed, if history is anything to go by, all of our societies eventually will." And while that is right over the long haul almost certainly, why do you think this movement, as you describe it, is happening right now? And what are the conditions, you know, the world is generally at peace. Societies, despite COVID, are relatively prosperous in the course of human history. Why are we seeing this develop today? ANNE APPLEBAUM: So, I mean, the book is a kind of extended answer to that question. And it's about why people inside democracies become attracted to autocratic ideas and thinking. But I can isolate a few things. I mean, one I would cite is evidence that democracy is in danger. The fact that, even if you just look at US politics, but it's true of Polish politics, it's true in other countries too, the amount of disdain that political parties now have for one another, and the degree to which opposition is not recognized as legitimate.
