Revue de presse :

The best account I have read of how we reached this point ... a wealth of insights worthy of the greatest writers about democracy -- David Runciman FT A basic rule of intellectual life is that celebrity destroys quality ... Francis Fukuyama is a glorious exception to this rule The Economist To his credit, Francis Fukuyama extracts no catchy global lessons from this story of political decay ... so often unjustly accused of cold-war triumphalism, [he] is giving us a wake-up call Irish Times Fukuyama writes about the degeneration of America's political system with the passion and frustration of a prophet straining to be heard over a cacophony of partisanship and ideological dogma. It is to be hoped that he will make himself heard: this excellent volume of comparative history and political science should be read by politicians and public alike -- Tim Bouverie The Spectator The ground covered is astonishing... Read these wonderful books so that you can never again say that we haven't been warned. And read them, too, for the way they make uncertainty seem not just tolerable but the only sane way to look at the world --Nick Fraser Observer
