who is Francis Fukuyama and why should I care?
Francis Fukuyama wrote a famous book at the end of the cold war called “The End of History” whose central thesis was that, with the fall of communism, there would be no ideology to challenge “democratic capitalism” and that we would all sing kum ba ya as we sipped our cokes. Believe it or not, many “smart” people believed it at the time. They should have been reading Huntington’s Foreign Affairs article, The Clash of Civilizations”, which came out at the same time.
