Poor Francis Fukuyama!!" And so true about him not been able to live down those words that gave him fame. Rather than the end of it, fall of communism set in motion events that would (re)create history and generate conditions to self-isolate. And the word, 'democracy (read unfettered capitalism) does not sound the glorious either these days....and what did Monsieur DeToqueville say????
it's really a pendulum swinging: too much socialism becomes communism which is then rejected. too much globalization then creates its own backlash. more current than tocqueville, there's servan-schreiber who wrote 'le defi americaine'. we have to build 'le defi indienne'. and we actually can, though we don't know it yet.
