Try to Rule Fairly and You'll Be Overthrown
CGP Grey · 15 recommenders · 15 months
CGP Grey's animated adaptation of The Dictator's Handbook, explaining how rulers stay in power by keeping a small group of key supporters happy rather than ruling fairly. It lays out selectorate theory and how resources shape regimes.
Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN treats it as the standard short summary of how power and political incentives work, applied to governments, companies and workplaces.
