Tom Holland and Francis Fukuyama

Marxism, football and Trump’s demise: Tom Holland and Francis Fukuyama in conversation

issue 10 July 2021

TOM HOLLAND: The title of your latest book, a book of interviews, is After the End of History. This alludes to what I guess must still rank as your most famous book and I wonder: is the fame of that book a burden? Do you feel like a famous rock star whose fans want him to play the greatest hits?

FRANCIS FUKUYAMA: You know, it is really only when I meet up for interviews with journalists who want to talk about very general types of topics that the issue comes up.
