In a little over two centuries, America has grown from a regional power to a superpower, and to what is today called a hyperpower. But can America retain its position as the world’s dominant power, or has it already begun to decline?

Historians have debated the rise and fall of empires for centuries. To date, however, no one has studied the far rarer phenomenon of hyperpowers—those few societies that amassed such extraordinary military and economic might that they essentially dominated the world.

Now, in this sweeping history of globally dominant empires, bestselling author Amy Chua explains how hyperpowers rise and why they fall. In a series of brilliantly focused chapters, Chua examines history’s hyperpowers—Persia, Rome, Tang China, the Mongols, the Dutch, the British, and the United States—and reveals the reasons behind their success, as well as the roots of their ultimate demise.

Chua’s unprecedented study reveals a fascinating historical pattern. For all their differences, she argues, every one of these world-dominant powers was, at least by the standards of its time, extraordinarily pluralistic and tolerant. Each one succeeded by harnessing the skills and energies of individuals from very different backgrounds, and by attracting and exploiting highly talented groups that were excluded in other societies. Thus Rome allowed Africans, Spaniards, and Gauls alike to rise to the highest echelons of power, while the “barbarian” Mongols conquered their vast domains only because they practiced an ethnic and religious tolerance unheard of in their time. In contrast,

Nazi Germany and imperial Japan, while wielding great power, failed to attain global dominance as a direct result of their racial and religious intolerance.

But Chua also uncovers a great historical irony: in virtually every instance, multicultural tolerance eventually sowed the seeds of decline, and diversity became a liability, triggering conflict, hatred, and violence.

The United States is the quintessential example of a power that rose to global dominance through tolerance and diversity. The secret to America’s success has always been its unsurpassed ability to attract enterprising immigrants. Today, however, concerns about outsourcing and uncontrolled illegal immigration are producing a backlash against our tradition of cultural openness. Has America finally reached a “tipping point”? Have we gone too far in the direction of diversity and tolerance to maintain cohesion and unity? Will we be overtaken by rising powers like China, the EU or even India?

Chua shows why American power may have already exceeded its limits and why it may be in our interest to retreat from our go-it-alone approach and promote a new multilateralism in both domestic and foreign affairs.</p>

作者在前言中提到,她和父母一家在文革后回到成都,那时一个工程学院的校长接待了他们,“在欢迎宴会上,在吃西瓜时,这位校长竟然不断将西瓜子直接涂在黏糊糊的餐厅地板上。后来,我妈妈哭了。这难道就是那个让她为之骄傲的中央帝国的伟大文化吗?”——这是原句。这个行为更...

正可谓“以史为鉴,可以知兴替”,无论是历史学家,还是喜欢历史的普通读者,都喜欢从历史当中发掘一些规律性的东西,从而丰富自己的思想,指导人生的实践。本书作者亦是如此,她从历史上大国(超级强国)兴亡更替的变化之中总结出“相对宽容”这一必备因素,认为超级强国都在...

如何定义艾米·蔡虎妈书中所述的“宽容”,我想很难。它存在她所阐述论点中的一种语境里,不是原有意义上的“宽容”。我能想到的一个词来不太准确的简单替代这样的综合性的意思是“融合”。 可以比方来说就好像生命的繁衍,不断的融合会有新的生命,可以把它作为国家强盛不衰的...

其实真挺奇怪,为毛出版社会选择引进这本书的。因为这完全是写给外国人,更细化的说是写给美国人看的东西。当然译者也如实的反应出了这一点,比如246页上作者就将馒头称为【一种蒸制的面包】,呵呵,说的就跟作者或译者不知道那叫“馒头”似的… 更可惜的是,负责引进本书的出...

对于里面很多其他国家的历史,很多是第一次看到不好评价。只能吸收一些以后丰富这方面知识以后再做评价。至于唐朝的一篇,感觉不是很全面。但,本人很乐意看到外国人如何评价中国的历史。而且感觉本书的修饰并不太大。其实某些把华人就当成中国人看的同胞们应该认清一个现实,...
