Episode Details

Few political thinkers exert such influence that their work becomes synonymous with a historic era. Francis Fukuyama’s declaration of “the end of history” after the fall of the Soviet Union made him one of those thinkers – but 30 years on, has he reassessed his own claim? And what events since then have shaken his faith in conservatism?

Aaron Bastani speaks to Fukuyama on the publication of his new book, Liberalism and its Discontents.
