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>

读后感

用流行书的写作态度来对待严肃的重大的历史话题,而且涉及史事面太过广泛,读完之后感觉到(1)犹太人(2)宗教的处理影响到帝国的兴衰,所谓大历史的角度,很难体现出来。 副标题所谓“从大历史的角度解读美国霸权兴衰的历程”是严重失实的,本书并没有认为美国霸权已经衰败,...

兴亡盛衰是永恒的历史命题,艾米蔡在其《宽容、狭隘与帝国兴亡》中给出了自己的回答:兴盛于宽容,衰亡于狭隘,整本书就是对此的举证论述。 作者对自己的观点没有丝毫犹疑,所以论证的过程读来倒也清晰。全书以不同历史时期的16个超级强国为例,一一论述经济、政治、文化、宗教...

蔡教授,就是传说中的耶鲁狼妈啊。这本书好像蛮有争议的,我个人觉得虽然蔡的论点过于片面——显然把历史上大国的衰落都归咎于不宽容,这个太狭隘了,缺乏多重思辨的精神。不过这样的写法很容易引起大范围辩论,这大概也是这书能卖得不错的原因吧。不管论点如何,蔡超强的写作...

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...
