Thanks, it’s a very nice article on an important topic. If you’re interested, there’s a small literature in political economy called “political selection” (here’s an older survey article) . As far as I know they don’t focus specifically on the extreme lower tail of bad leaders, but they do discuss how different institutional features can lead to different types of people gaining power.

Thanks for the pointer!
