The End of History and the Last Man
In 'The End of History and the Last Man,' Francis Fukuyama explores the concept of the end of history, arguing that liberal democracy represents the final form of government and the ultimate goal of human socio-political development. Fukuyama delves into the Hegelian idea of humanity's journey towards a universal state of freedom and democracy, positing that the fall of the Soviet Union marked the realization of this vision. However, he contemplates the challenges to this theory, particularly the rise of identity politics and challenges to the liberal democratic order. This thought-provoking book continues to spark debates on the future of global governance and ideology.
