Beschreibung

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

Klappentext

A landmark New York Times bestseller and one of the most influential works of political thought of the modern era.

First published in 1992, Francis Fukuyama's The End of History and the Last Man made a provocative argument: that liberal democracy might represent the culmination of humanity's long political evolution. In the decades since, that idea has been challenged, debated, and reconsidered as authoritarianism, nationalism, war, and political instability have continued to reshape the global order.

Ambitious, influential, and still fiercely debated, The End of History and the Last Man remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping democracy and the future of political life. Now updated with a new afterword.
