As a political leader and fierce negotiator, she brought these lessons into halls of power, only to encounter a new order of global elites and tyrannical regimes—this time in the West itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, at a time when authoritarianism is resurging around the world alongside rising tariffs, economic anxiety, and democratic instability, she shines a light on the current crisis of liberal democracy. With bold and unusual candor, Freeland exposes how deals are really made, how coalitions fracture when governments fail to deliver for working people, and argues that trade, security, and democracy can no longer be separated\u003cb\u003e. \u003c\/b\u003eInstead, democracies must build new alliances strong enough to resist foreign autocrats and homegrown oligarchs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart memoir, part polemic, \u003ci\u003eUnreliable Boyfriend\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful investigation of leadership, ambition, compromise, and betrayal, from a public intellectual with a clear view into the dangers, and opportunities, of our unreliable relationship with the United States.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nottawa Cottage Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44278244540503,"sku":"9781668245903","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/6488\/2007\/files\/image_a31fb582-b008-4fee-a77c-067871591b35.jpg?v=1789418165","url":"https:\/\/nottawacottagebookstore.ca\/products\/unreliable-boyfriend-an-insiders-view-of-dealing-with-a-chaotic-superpower-plutocrats-and-other-complicated-people-by-chrystia-freeland-preorder","provider":"Nottawa Cottage Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
