A seminal work of political philosophy and a global bestseller, The End of History and the Last Man remains remarkably relevant. The 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall eliminated the Cold War threat, ushering in an era of both optimism and uncertainty for the West. Fukuyama's book provided an early vision of the 21st century, boldly outlining the challenges facing modern liberal democracies and offering predictions about the future. This updated edition, featuring a new afterword, revisits the central question posed by the original work: Have any political or economic models emerged that could effectively challenge liberal democracy as the optimal form of societal organization? Fukuyama remains skeptical. Addressing topics ranging from religious fundamentalism and scientific progress to ethical frameworks and the enduring specter of war, The End of History and the Last Man retains its compelling power and provocative nature.
