Thirty years ago, the Iron Curtain came down and opened up a tremendous range of opportunities for individuals, societies, and businesses in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Back then, the today world famous political scientist Francis Fukuyama wrote the book The End of History and the Last Man. Suggesting that the end of communism would lead to the prevalence of liberal democracy, his theories are still triggering debates to this very day.

What a man, Francis Fukuyama. A true philosopher. @ 1:23:40 you can see how cleverly and beautiful he engages with all the ideas which have been shared up and until this point. He captures everyone's perspective and at the same time tries to give his own perspective on it. Just beautiful to see this
Ivan Krastev was incredibly insightful. Pure gold, sentence after sentence. Also very funny!
