From Francis Fukuyama (b. October 27, 1952), American political scientist, political economist, and author. “The rationale for tenure is still valid. But the system has turned the academy into one of the most conservative and costly institutions in the country. Yes, conservative: Economists joke that their discipline advances one funeral at a time, but many fields must wait for wholesale generational turnover before new approaches take hold.” “In general, Americans are not very good at nation-building and not very good colonialists.” “What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such … That is, the end point of mankinds ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.”
