In this episode of Rules in Perspective I review the podcast episode 41 on direct democracy in Latin America, a discussion I had with Yanina Welp.
My three takeaways from episode 41:
0:50 Direct democracy is a powerful democratic institution.
2:41 Authoritarian regimes may use "the will of the people" to consolidate power.
7:14 The devil is in the details.
