Review Roundup

Fukuyama's The End of History and the Last Man is praised for its thought-provoking thesis on liberal democracy's potential endpoint in historical development. Critics commend its intellectual rigor and wide-ranging analysis. However, some argue its conclusions are overly optimistic and lack consideration of future geopolitical shifts. The book remains influential and polarizing in political philosophy.
