Abstract
In the early 1990s, Francis Fukuyama published a book with the provocative title “The End of History and the Last Man”. The book was based on an article published a few years earlier and the main argument was that the battle of political ideas ended with the victory of Liberal Democracy as the sole version of social arrangement after the collapse of Socialisms around the world.
