一本长达600页的政治学著作以一个悬念结束,这并不多见。但弗朗西斯·福山3年前出版的关于政治社会运作机理的两卷本恢弘巨著的上卷,留下了一个没有解答的大问题。该书引领我们遍历了从史前时代,到法国大革命后、现代民主黎明时期的政治秩序。福山至今最为人所知的仍然是他在1989年的宣言,他宣称自由民主制的诞生代表历史的终结:当时的确没有比民主更好的方案了。但在这本上卷本中,他暗示自由民主政体并不能幸免于影响了其他所有类型政治社会的停滞和衰落模式。自由民主政体或许也必须被某种更好的制度取代。那

Liberal democracies may also have to be replaced by some better system. that
