Liberalism and Its Discontents: A Conversation with Francis Fukuyama

The Institute for Humane Studies invites you to join us for a conversation with Francis Fukuyama, Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, about his new book, “Liberalism and Its Discontents,” (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2022) on Friday, May 27, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. ET.

In recent decades, both the right and the left have pushed the principles of liberalism to new extremes. The result, Fukuyama argues, has been a fracturing of our civil society and an increasing peril to our democracy. In “Liberalism and Its Discontents,” Fukuyama offers an essential defense of a revitalized liberalism for the 21st century. Publisher’s Weekly calls the book “an authoritative diagnosis… of how liberalism went wrong and how it can reclaim its best impulses.”

IHS Senior Program Officer Brad Jackson will host the conversation on May 27, which will take place on Zoom and will be followed by Q&A.
