What asia's postwar economic miracle demonstrates is that capitalism is a path toward economic development that is potentially available to all countries. no underdeveloped country in the third world is disadvantaged simply because it began the growth process later than europe, nor are the established industrial powers capable of blocking the development of a latecomer, provided that country plays by the rules of economic liberalism.

More From Francis Fukuyama

Liberalism is unsustainable. when things go wrong in liberalism they pile more liberalism on top. pretty good example of what's wrong with the us budget, us healthcare. liberalism breaks it. government breaks it. they pile more liberalism on top of it until it eventually implodes, like obamacare is going to, or like social security is going to. all of these things, they're not sustainable, because liberalism isn't.
Healthcare Break Liberalism
No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

The most revolutionary aspect of technology is its mobility. anybody can learn it. it jumps easily over barriers of race and language. ... the new technology of microchips and computer software is learned much faster than the old technology of coal and iron. it took three generations of misery for the older industrial countries to master the technology of coal and iron. the new industrial countries of east asia, south korea, and singapore and taiwan, mastered the new technology and made the jump from poverty to wealth in a single generation.

In 2003, at the time i made my "old europe" comment, the center of gravity in nato and europe had long since shifted to the east. with the former warsaw pact countries joining nato, the alliance has a different mix today. some people were sensitive about my comment because they thought it was a pejorative way of highlighting demographic realities. apparently they felt it pointed a white light at a weakness in europe - an aging population. europe has come some distance since world war ii in becoming europe.

The same failure of liberalism is evident in western europe, where the dogma of multiculturalism has left a secular europe very slow to address the looming problem of religious extremism among its immigrants. the people who speak most sensibly about the threat that islam poses to europe are actually fascists. to say that this does not bode well for liberalism is an understatement: it does not bode well for the future of civilization.

I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country. the issues are global and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector, oblivious to those of another, is but to court disaster for the whole. while asia is commonly referred to as the gateway to europe, it is no less true that europe is the gateway to asia, and the broad influence of the one cannot fail to have its impact upon the other.

Our tears are not enough. our words and our prayers are not enough. if we really want to honor these twelve men and women, if we really want to be a country where we can go to work and go to school and walk our streets free from senseless violence, without so many lives being stolen by a bullet from a gun, then we're gonna have to change. we're gonna have to change.

I know teddy kennedy had fun at the democratic convention when he said that i said that trees and vegetation caused 80 percent of the air pollution in this country. ... well, now he was a little wrong about what i said. i didn't say 80 percent. i said 92 percent-93 percent, pardon me. and i didn't say air pollution, i said oxides of nitrogen. growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93 percent of the oxides of nitrogen. ... if we are totally successful and can eliminate all the manmade oxides of nitrogen, we'll still have 93 percent as much as we have in the air today.

The great depression in the united states, far from being a sign of the inherent instability of the private enterprise system, is a testament to how much harm can be done by mistakes on the part of a few men when they wield vast power over the monetary system of the country.

Let's be honest, this is a consumer based economy in america. that's all we manufacture here is need and appetite. we are the world's mouth. they make things in other countries, and they're like, 'send it to america; they'll eat it.'
