'The End of History and the Last Man is a 1992 book of #political #philosophy by American political scientist #FrancisFukuyama which argues that with the ascendancy of Western #liberal #democracy... humanity has reached "not just... the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of #history as such: That is, the end-point of mankind's #ideological #evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy"'

Francis Fukayama: master #troll
@benroyce I've been wanting to read this book for a while now, just to see what the tone of that free-market religion was like after the cold war.
I'm curious about it because it is both interesting and infuriating how progressives are always described as being too idealistic, yet free-market apologists were the ones who thought they had found an ideology so perfect that it would literally end every problem humanity ever faced for its entire existence.
@tuckerm it allowed a certain class to pat themselves on the back and ignore reality

And yet, the world continued to turn.
