Origins of Political Order, The

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time, most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens.
Drawing on this vast body of knowledge – history, evolutionary biology, archaeology, and economics – Fukuyama has produced a brilliant provocative work that offers fresh insights into the origins of democratic societies and raises essential questions about the nature of politics and its discontents.
