The Last Man - Francis Fukuyama

Reading and conversation with Francis Fukuyama

Liberal societies are in crisis: authoritarian movements, technological change, neoliberalism, and identity politics undermine free-thinking. Fukuyama argues why this thinking remains essential for Western societies in the 21st century - and why freedom must be actively defended to counter an authoritarian world order.

Francis Fukuyama, born in 1952 in Chicago, gained international recognition in 1992 with the bestseller "The End of History". He is regarded as one of the most significant contemporary political theorists and is currently a professor of political science at Stanford University.
