Francis Fukuyama’s new book is about how states form, but while it goes back into the distant past, its relevance is very up-to-date. How did ancient societies relinquish their tribal ties in favor of a strong central government? The West has long supported democracy as an organizing principle, and has pushed tribal societies to change. But how realistic is that? Join us for a provocative evening as the man who theorized “the end of history” now takes on the past and the future of the state.
