Francis Fukuyama is remembered in science for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Francis Fukuyama as American political scientist, political economist, and author.
Francis Fukuyama was born at Hyde Park in 1952. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at Harvard University and Cornell University.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as writer, political scientist and blogger.
His affiliations include Johns Hopkins University, George Mason University and Kansai University.
His principal work is The End of History and the Last Man. A scientific contribution counts if the next generation could build on it without re-checking.
His recorded fields of work are philosophy, economics and political science.
His work was formally recognised with the Democracy Service Medal.
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Francis Fukuyama is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
