Introduction

The Origins of Political Order by Francis Fukuyama is written by Maria Deek and Read to You by Ian Pringle. The book emphasizes how the historical development of political systems worldwide can be traced back to the natural inclination of humans to favour blood relationships. Throughout history, societies developed under the principles of unity, aliceness and kinship - or in other words, around the concept of family. This notion set the base of our current order and played an enormous role in the development of the world as outlined in this book.
