Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama (born October 27, 1952) is an American political scientist, political economist, and author. Fukuyama is known for his book The End of History and the Last Man (1992), which argued that the worldwide spread of liberal democracies and free market capitalism
of the West and its lifestyle may signal the end point of humanity's

(1995) modified his earlier position to acknowledge that culture cannot
be cleanly separated from economics. Fukuyama is also associated with
the rise of the neoconservative movement, from which he has since distanced himself
