Fukuyama's liberalism challenged by reality
The article discusses Francis Fukuyama's ideas in his autobiographical book "The Last Man Alive," where he reevaluates his theories on the end of history and liberal democracy. It explains that despite increasing challenges from authoritarian models like China and Russia, liberalism still prevails in terms of adaptability, with democratic institutions continuing to withstand authoritarian tendencies, especially through the judiciary and elections. The piece highlights that authoritarian states, such as China, do not seek to globally spread their model but instead demonstrate that development and stability are possible outside of liberal frameworks, which concerns Fukuyama about the future of democracy. It also addresses the looming threat of artificial intelligence on employment and human recognition, while maintaining an optimistic view that humanity will adapt despite these challenges. The importance of the state in maintaining order and protecting humans is emphasized. Ultimately, it suggests that today, in the "Last Man," humans need the state as a protective umbrella.
