This book explains why. Drawing on recent discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and control theory, Boris Kriger reveals that the separation of powers is architecturally correct but built from the wrong material. Power physically changes the human brain. It suppresses the neural circuits responsible for empathy. It induces a progressive personality disorder documented in presidents and prime ministers. It attracts precisely those individuals least suited to wield it. And once a leader is sufficiently damaged, the first thing they destroy is the mechanism designed to detect the damage.
