Summary
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.

Political History at its best
A timeless and erudite history of Liberal Democracy. Explains the key concepts of liberalism, the idea of political history as posited by Hegel and attempts to explain the confluence of liberalism, democracy and capitalism at the culmination of the industrial revolution. Still relevant decades after its first issue and with excellent narration; a highly recommended read for anyone interested in political history and its possible futures.

Biased USA Exceptionalism.
If you need told how super amazingly the USA is at everything, including ethnic minorities (except that one, and that one, and that one...) then this book, or as I would put it, manifesto is for you.
Had to stop reading and return it because of the constant contradictions.

Fukuyama was wrong
Fukuyama was wrong. History is more convoluted and complex, things do not always progressively get better. I understand the bullish proclamation in the book due to the pseudo triumphant behaviour of the West when the Soviet systems collapsed. However what the West failed to see was their own systems were collapsing before them too

Some valid points but...
Struggle to read Fukuyama to the end. Perhaps some of these views (especially towards non European cultures) were more socially acceptable in the 1990ies.
