But back to Fukuyama.
His book The End of History should have alerted the average intellectual to the fact that Fuk lives permanently just out of his depth. He is surrounded by nasties (and for a while was happy so to be), not least because the 'Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies' at Johns Hopkins (ah yes, there's an appropriate forefather) is deeply embedded into the Potomac establishment.
Evidently there's a conscience in there perennially trying to get out, but then he would be acutely aware (if only subconsciously) of how prestige, status, all the things that matter, come with compromise, joining the A team.
Fukuyama plays out the Faustian pact of the policy wonk academic as Exhibit A.
