Hi Maya:<br /><br />Here's document one. I remember reading Fukuyama's "End of History" some years ago. I wish I could say it helped, but I have forgotten most of it.<br /><br />Anyway, back to "The Origins of Political Order." I think this gives you a good summary of the early chapters. Most of the heavy lifting can come in your discussions. &nbsp;And you can always add quotes where and if needed.<br /><br />I'll start on document two tomorrow. I don't think length will be a problem. We might even be over 20 minutes. I've tried to keep the style light and informal.&nbsp;<br /><br />BFN - George
