Fukuyama Revisits History and Monsters
Francis Fukuyama, the renowned scientist and political thinker, reviewed his intellectual development 34 years after publishing his article "The End of History," in which he declared the victory of liberalism and the failure of major conflicts, prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In his new memoirs, Fukuyama explains that liberal democracy has not distributed respect adequately, which has led to the emergence of identity and rebellion movements. He points out that the boredom resulting from societal stability is what has driven people toward radicalization and clashes with institutions. He also offers a critique of globalization and current policies, arguing that the greatest challenge is to build a system that grants humans dignity before their clothing and sustenance. He concludes that history has not come to an end and that the task of the future is to correct the course of democracy to ensure respect and dignity for every human being.
