“This book grew out of a celebrated 1989 essay, published as the Cold War was ending. Fukuyama’s ideas are often caricatured, mischaracterized, and misunderstood, but his basic point here still holds. We have witnessed the end of a great centuries-old ideological debate over the right way to organize societies, especially economies. We are still living in the world Fukuyama described.”↗
Steven Sinofsky
“12/ The End of History and the Last Man by Francis Fukuyama from 2006. It became trendy to use a few examples to disprove FF’s whole thesis, but only if you had not really read the book. It seems to hold up even better these days.”↗
