I listen to most of the talks by Profs Samuel Hunttington and John Mearscheimer. You Prof Fukuyama, are still the best. Unlike the formers who have some bias, you are articulate and objective. I learn so much from you. Thank you Prof. Fukuyama

[@michaels.cannjr.1578]

Well said. Fukuyama really is a treasure.

[@goedelite]

Anyone who finds Mr Fukuyama objective is already so biased or naive that he cannot judge. Fukuyama in 2017 still speaks of the US as a democracy.

[@Mike-us1wr]

30 years is very short period of time in history. Let’s wait for another 30 years to see what happen.

[@goedelite]

I don't know what the "international liberal order" is. I know what international law is. One definition could be that it is the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and other treaties in which the vast majority of nations participate, but which the United States has in recent years violated. The liberal order, by contrast, is not a set of such treaties which deal with the rights of human beings and sovereign nations but rather a variable collection of trade conventions and agreements, favorable to the United States and enforced by US sanctions and even coups d'etat.

It means the uniparty unipolar oligarchy can tell other peoples what to do indefinitely until they are overthrown

[@SuperYouthful]

Long live FREE SPEECH!!! AMEN AMERICA!!!

@29:30, The Syrian migration crisis was caused by neocons like Fukuyama. The illegal attack on Iraq based on lies about WMDs destabilized the Mideast. Guess what this created: refugees, warlords, and continued fighting. Fukuyama has admitted that he was wrong, but he arrived at his conclusion too late to registrar a dissenting opinion. Do you know what a neocon is? Have Fukuyama explain that to you.

[@patrickvernon2749]

Lets all hope and pray its over soon. End this horrible experiment

[@LaureanoLuna]

Certainly, not everyone was better off with globalization: average real wage decreased in the US between 1970 and 2008 because about 40 million immigrants were attracted to the US by capitalists to lower salaries in that period. Add the increasing unstability of economies due to globalization, which was a factor in the financial crisis, and you'll understand why de-globalization started in 2016.

This speech took place in mid- April 2017, not 2014!

[@Lordfried]

What a brilliant man. Excellent talk.

[@TangomanX2008]

Perhaps, but when Fukuyama is wrong, he can be very very wrong.

[@EnriqueLopez-lf8qm]

He said the end of the history before, lol

[@Chameleon1616]

He is a theorist, they theorise based political circumstances and if you have actually read his piece on the end of history you will find that it is quite good minus a few problems. but if you want something that predicts everything and cheats its way out of ever being wrong by relying on the supernatural then turn to religion. Otherwise be respectful of the facts of being a political theorist, he had a good idea, and he shared it.

[@fhxak2004]

im a fan of francis fukuyama，but he should not lie to taiwanese people，that their democracy is good。。。。rly a lie，look at the past 20 years in taiwan and the resent taiwan

[@fungames24]

He was not lying. The problem is you don't know what the term "democracy" means. Democracy in taiwan closely matches democracies elsewhere. The reason some of the other democracies are wealthy is because they have what it takes to grab wealth from other people, you don't. It makes no difference what system you follow, you will be exactly as you are.

[@falldownbeauty]

muy interesante. He sounds scared, no?

[@alijoueizadeh8477]

Reciting the obvious is what this muppet does.

[@coperfield9188]

Why this Chinese man is not speaking Chinese?

[@wilmeramadoraguilar47]

Japanese/american. Go back to Kindergarden

[@kamoans]

First, to quadruple anything (including economy), it would rise 300%, not 400%. Second, the 'aggregate wealth' talk simply hides accumulation of money by the 'best fit' "elites" in the Darwinian 'global' survival game. For Fukuyama, liberalism is a rule of "elites," which is perceived as a "law and order." By contrast "populism" (aka democracy) is a rule of "uneducated" public... Finally, wealth is not the only (and most be not the most important) parameter to access the value of economic success and globalization.

[@kenw.simpson1007]

Bullshit.

CCP rules the world.. the triumph of authoritarianism..
