Which one of the following is not a factor, for Fukuyama, leading to the triumph of liberal democracy?

Fukuyama's actual argument runs in the opposite direction of this statement. He argued that the triumph of the West and Western liberal democracy is evident in the total exhaustion of viable systematic alternatives to Western liberalism — framing it primarily as a victory in the realm of ideas and ideology, not merely economics. Fukuyama believed liberalism had triumphed "in the realm of ideas or consciousness" even though it remained "as yet incomplete in the real or material world." This shows that reducing his thesis purely to economics misrepresents his actual position.

• The Logic of Science/Economics: Fukuyama argued that the economic logic of modern science together with the struggle for recognition leads to the eventual collapse of tyrannies, driving societies toward liberal democracy
• Struggle for Recognition: Human beings crave dignity and recognition of their worth as equals, and liberal democracy satisfies this desire better than any rival system
• Absence of Contradictions: History was driven by contradictions like the struggle for mutual recognition and mastery over nature; liberal democracy is presented as the system without such fundamental contradictions remaining
• Ideas Over Economics: Fukuyama's emphasis was on ideological/ideational victory, not on reducing the triumph of liberal democracy to mere economic terms
