End of whose history?

Kishore Mahbubani author of  The New Asian Hemisphere  pays tribute ot Francis Fukiyama in a stimulating piece in the New York Times.   He argues that modernisation has spread across the world, but it has been accompanied by de-Westernisation and provocatively states that Francis Fukiyama’s famous essay End of History may have done some serious brain damage to Western minds…which believed that the ‘end of history’ equalled the triumph of the West.’
