What is Francis Fukuyama known for?
I am primarily known for my argument, most famously articulated in 'The End of History and the Last Man,' that liberal democracy, coupled with a free-market capitalist economy, may represent the culmination of humanity's ideological and political evolution. This does not imply an end to events, but rather the end of fundamental ideological struggle over the best form of governance. My work explores the underlying principles of political order, state capacity, and economic development.
