Recenzja naukowa książki F. Fukuyamy „Historia ładu politycznego. Od czasów przedludzkich do rewolucji francuskiej.”
The Origins of Political Order by Francis Fukuyama - review

Summary/Abstract: This is the review of the latest work of Francis Fukuyama, the well-known American intellectual. Fukuyama tries to eruditely present the common and comparative history of nations and civilization. His work seems unfinished as he interrupts his considerations after reaching the eighteenth century which is a result of a change in the shape of state-building processes at this precise moment of history. This is the end of the age of Malthusianism, that is a period of permanent shortage in resources in relation to demographic surplus in the earlier world. The review contains also the critical part, in which the author indicates translation mistakes, essential errors and shorthands of Fukuyama as well as the problem of reconciling philosophical and historical considerations.
