Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? Author James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields.

The U.S. government's response to the onset of World War II represented something of a constitutional gold standard. Congress declared war almost unanimously, and the president executed that war. This clear division of powers and the near universal support of the citizenry helped expedite allied victory.

Populists who rail against this say they want to return power to the people. But in practice they create a system of "democracy without rights."
