Long Interview: Francis Fukuyama

Good Morning Scotland

Available for over a year

The author of the End of History, which asked whether liberalism had triumphed over ideology, tackles the politics of identity and the threat they pose to democracy in his latest book, titled simply ‘Identity’. Gordon Brewer talks to Francis Fukuyama about how identity has usurped economics as the primary battleground for ideology, and how governments struggle to cope with this shift.
