| Abstract: |
To take the United States as a paradigmatic example, increasing stratification has sparked a severe backlash against the form of liberalism that seemed destined to rule when Fukuyama wrote "The End of History?" Liberalism may work better than communism, but it couldn't satisfy the human yearning for connection and meaning; as Fukuyama later wrote, the ideology ultimately had a "vacuum" at its center. Yet Fukuyama doesn't blame liberalism itself for this reality but instead the radical neoliberals who rejected "state intervention… as a matter of principle." Clearly, when it comes to exploring what it feels like to live at history's end, Fukuyama the analyst stands in tension with Fukuyama the liberal booster. [Extracted from the article] |
