Francis Fukuyama's essay “The End of History?” was published in the summer of 1989, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. His argument — that liberal democracy would not only defeat communism, but that its partisans might miss the “courage, imagination, and idealism” that defined the ideological battle — lives on as one of the most cited pieces of political theory in the last three decades. In his new memoir, In the Realm of the Last Man, he revisits “The End of History?” and talks to us about how his argument has evolved in a world now defined by the rapid development of AI and by the many electoral defeats liberal democracy has suffered as of late. We discuss how the Internet and social media are helping fuel the listlessness that “The End of History” brought about, how he uses AI, and what, if anything, will come after liberalism.
