The Citizen’s Field Guide to Power in a Crisis
A long-form reader on how authority expands, what breaks, and where responsibility still lives.
What is it?
Inside the guide, you’ll find:
How emergency powers actually work
Historical patterns of crisis and consolidation
The limits — and vulnerabilities — of institutions
The difference between legality and legitimacy
What citizenship looks like when trust erodes
This is a reflective, historically grounded companion for people trying to stay oriented. This is not a news product or a collection of “hot takes”.
