Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time. This Mini Explainer introduces The End of History and the Last Man by Francis Fukuyama, focusing on the claim that liberal democracy outlasts rival systems because it satisfies both economic needs and the human demand for dignity. Rather than predicting a perfect future, the book explains why alternative political systems fail to sustain legitimacy — and why democracy’s greatest threat may come from within, through apathy, inequality, and loss of purpose. 📺 Watch the full Deep Dive on YouTube: 👉 • Video 🎧 Listen to the audio-only Deep Dive on Spotify: 👉 [Spotify link] ❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon: 👉 / crisisinperception Author Support Line If these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
