Autocracy, Inc: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World | Anne Applebaum with Edward Luce

Feb 11, 2026 | Autocracy no longer wears a crown or marches an army. In Autocracy, Inc., Anne Applebaum uncovers a hidden world where dictators, oligarchs, and state-run companies form invisible networks stretching across continents. Money, media, and security move seamlessly between them, bound by a single purpose: undermining democracy. A story of power, ambition, and quiet danger, Applebaum in conversation with celebrated writer Edward Luce reveals how these modern empires operate—and what it will take for the free world to resist. | Presented by HPCL–Mittal Energy Limited
