In recent years, people around the world are beginning to pay more and more attention to their identity national, racial, gender, religious. This global trend, according to Francis Fukuyama, author of the bestseller “The End of History and the Last Man”, is a decisive factor for the effective functioning of the social mechanism, whether in the countries of the East, Southeast Asia, the United States or Scandinavia. In his new book, Fukuyama explores the origins of our quest for dignity and examines the implications of identity politics for the liberal world order in the age of populism. The task that Fukuyama sets himself is to prove that the individual rights underlying the liberal idea can not only lead to individualistic fragmentation of societies, but also create the basis for social consolidation.
