If readers think this piece will now devolve into another Francis Fukuyama bashing exercise, they are absolute correct. We cannot let “The End of History” steal all the limelight. Francis Fukuyama has produced other stinkers as well and the long-forgotten “Trust” has aged just as poorly.

What is it with Fukuyama assigning these "public trust levels" to different nations though? I find it laughable that he seems to correlate low trust with family enterprises and then associates Japan with high trust, as if its economy weren't in the hands of a few family-owned conglomerates
