Amy Chua talked about her book Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance and Why They Fall, published by Doubleday. In her book she explores the history of societies that, due to their unequaled military and economic superiority, achieve world dominance.

The guest interviewer was Cullen Murphy.

Amy Chua is a law professor at Yale Law School. She is also the author of World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability, published by Doubleday.
