My Take
Colin Crouch earns my admiration for naming something the rest of us only half-felt. His 2000 concept of post-democracy, elections intact while real power drains to a narrow elite, reads sharper every year. As Emeritus Professor at Warwick and a Fellow of the British Academy, he could have stayed safely abstract, but the best scholars diagnose the disease and give it a word we cannot unhear. I value thinkers who turn unease into vocabulary. Crouch did that, and it is why his name still surfaces whenever democracy looks hollow.
