I'm not posting this to advance a political agenda, but more because with recent protests, Chenoweth's text is getting more mentions recently. Agree or disagree, people around me are definitely talking about it. Mostly talking about the 3.5% of the population figure that if they're on the streets in protest, it's an indicator that the establishment is on shaky political grounds.

Here's the WorldCat reference: https://search.worldcat.org/title/660804982

Anyway... just passing it along since I figured it might be interesting to a non-zero percentage of the people here.

Also... someone posted this related TEDx video several years ago. Adding it as well in case you can't get to your local library:
