The result is nothing short of an historical and philosophical primer for the onslaught of the 21st century.`In the mastery and scope of its case, `The End of History and the Last Man' may be seen as the first book of the post-Marxist millennium - the first work fully to fathom the depth and range of the changes now sweeping through the world' George Gilder, the Washington Post.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/francis-fukuyama-books\"\u003eFrancis Fukuyama\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0140154191\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £22.74","offer_id":47900490596529,"sku":"SB-0140154191-C3","price":22.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0140154191.jpg?v=1789392823"},{"product_id":"the-end-of-history-and-the-last-man-francis-fukuyama","title":"The End of History and the Last Man: Francis Fukuyama","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA LANDMARK WORK OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.

This change, for all its benefits, has led to increasing crime, massive changes is fertility and family structure, decreasing levels of trust and the triumph of individualism over community.But Fukuyama claims that a new social order is already under construction.

He goes to explain why the US did not realize how much foreign hostility there would be towards the war, or how difficult reconstruction would be, and connects the problems in Iraq to wider patterns that include recent revolutions in Eastern Europe. Showing that there is no established tradition in international relations theory that can help guide American foreign policy today, Fukuyama then outlines a new approach. This emphasizes the importance of solving the problem of development and of creating multiple international institutions.
