Francis Fukuyama, senior fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, former State Department official, author of The End of History and the Last Man (Free Press, 1992) and his latest, Liberalism and Its Discontents (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2022), reflects on the state of liberal democracy which he had seemed ascendant in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War and offers a critique of the current state of liberalism.
