歷史的終結將是一個非常悲傷的時刻。為了純粹抽象的目標而冒險生命的斗爭，全球意識形態斗爭所喚起的勇敢、勇氣、想象力和理想主義，將被經濟計算、無休止的技術問題解決、環境關注和復雜消費者需求的滿足所取代。
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
