Last week, William Easterly, a high-profile global poverty expert and professor of economics at New York University, published an article in Foreign Policy called, “Democracy is Dying as Technocrats Watch.”
In the article, Easterly cited the success of Donald Trump’s disturbing rhetoric and a documented global decline in support for democracy. He laid the blame on “technocracy” being an inadequate response to emotionally-charged messaging.
