Yale Professor Amy Chua
“Rise and Fall of Hyperpowers:
Tolerance, Intolerance, and Lessons for America”
Wednesday, April 16
12:30 – 1:30
Haggar Parlor
Professor Chua will be speaking about her new book, Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance – and Why They Fall (Anchor, 2009), which was hailed by Paul Kennedy in Foreign Affairs as "Has a chance of becoming a classic . . . It has an almost Toynbeen sweep." Harvard's Niall Feguson said "Few readers will fail to be impressed by the height of this book's ambition and by the breadth of scholarship on which it is based." The Times Literary Supplement called it "Extraordinary . . . An incredibly ambitious book, but Chua is up to the task."
She has lectured widely outside the United States, including in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, China, Mexico, Taiwan, Turkey, and South Africa. She teaches in the areas of contracts, law and development, international business transactions, and law and globalization, and is a recipient of the Yale Law School’s “Best Teaching” award.
