About this episode
The episode discusses Francis Fukuyama's thesis in 'The End of History' and critiques the notion that history has reached a peaceful conclusion following the fall of the communist bloc.
Francis Fukuyama wrote The End of History more than 30 years ago, believing that the fall of the communist bloc would lead to a more peaceful world. We are still waiting for that moment of peace.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/fukuyama-was-wrong-history-did-not-end
