"Writing duo and reigning romance queens Christina Lauren are back with The Soulmate Equation, their most ambitious book to date." - PopSugar ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now his posture has become far more defensive. Indeed, Fukuyama is no longer prophesying the end of history. He already regrets the Russo-Ukrainian War’s role in consolidating the Sino-Russian alliance. If Western support for Ukraine backfires in the latest “struggle to defend liberal democracy,” one can assume Fukuyama will absolve himself of responsibility for that as well. Not surprisingly, Fukuyama has distanced himself from the consequences of his role in universalizing Western liberalism. Even worse, the ensuing refugee crises rocked the stability of Europe. ![]() In the process, war profiteers amassed a fortune while Washington and its allies destabilized countries from Central Asia to North Africa. The United States then launched disastrous projects to remake the world according to liberal principles. With the Soviet Union disintegrating, and communism completely discredited, Fukuyama argued that humanity was approaching “the end-point” of its “ideological evolution.” The universalization of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism was nigh. A work with far-reaching consequences for global politics, its central argument offered the American neoconservative movement and their allies on the political left intellectual rocket fuel. Believe it or not, 30 years have elapsed since Francis Fukuyama published The End of History and the Last Man. ![]() ![]() She’s settled into her home at Havenfield, surrounded by friends, and using her unique telepathic abilities to train Silveny – the first female alicorn ever seen in the Lost Cities.But Sophie's kidnappers are still out there, and before long she’s back in incredible danger.
