The End of History ft. Francis Fukuyama

<p>How robust is liberal democracy worldwide? Why do authoritarian countries like China, Iran and Russia seem to be struggling right now? How safe is democracy in the developed world? Francis Fukuyama joins the podcast to discuss how the ideas from his book 'The End of History' apply to what we're seeing in geopolitics today. We discuss what capital-H History is really about, whether neoliberalism is to blame for the rise of authoritarianism in recent decades, the contradictions that give strong states inherent weaknesses, and what he's watching for to see if the world might experience another wave of democratization.</p> <p>Recommended Reading:</p> <p>American Purpose - <a href="https://www.americanpurpose.com/">https://www.americanpurpose.com/</a></p> <p>Persuasion - <a href="https://www.persuasion.community/">https://www.persuasion.community/</a></p> <p>The UnPopulist - <a href="https://www.theunpopulist.net/">https://www.theunpopulist.net/</a></p> <p>Frankly Fukuyama - <a href="https://www.americanpurpose.com/topics/frankly-fukuyama/">https://www.americanpurpose.com/topics/frankly-fukuyama/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>To make sure you hear every episode, join our Patreon at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/neoliberalproject">https://www.patreon.com/neoliberalproject</a>.
