HOW TO BE A DICTATOR

If you're trying to consolidate power as a dictator, what's the best way to go about it? Is it better to be feared or loved? How do you eliminate your enemies? We'll speak to Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion who now plots his moves against Vladimir Putin.

If you're trying to consolidate power as a dictator, what's the best way to go about it? Should you censor the press? Should you kill your opponents? Or should you try to win them over? We'll speak to Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion who now plots his moves against Vladimir Putin. And we'll travel to Thailand to speak to a journalist who got kidnapped by a military junta in a surreal attempt to give him Stockholm Syndrome for his dictatorial captors. In addition to Kasparov, this episode features Pravit Rojanaphruk, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, Sarah Sunn Bush, and Natasha Lindstaedt.
