DESCRIPTION:Amy Chua, Professor, Yale Law School\n\nIn Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers 
 Rise to Global Dominance—And Why They Fall, Amy Chua examines\nthe 
 hyperpowers of history—Persia, Rome, China, the Mongols, the Dutch, the 
 British, and the United States— and argues that they all have two things 
 in common: They rose to preeminence through toleration and declined during 
 a period of intolerance and xenophobia. Chua reasons that America’s 
 ascension to global dominance differs from its predecessors because it is 
 the first democratic hyperpower and therefore cannot secure loyalty and 
 allegiance by way of conquest. As its dominance appears to be regressing, 
 Chua questions whether America can sustain its position as a democratic 
 hyperpower.\n\nCheck-in: 5:30 PM, Program: 6:00 PM\n\nCouncil Members:
