In a series of brilliant chapter-length  studies, she examines the most powerful cultures in history—from the ancient empires  of Persia and China to the recent global empires of England and the United States—and  reveals the reasons behind their success, as well as the roots of their ultimate  demise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChua's analysis uncovers a fascinating historical pattern: while policies  of tolerance and assimilation toward conquered peoples are essential for an empire  to succeed, the multicultural society that results introduces new tensions and instabilities,  threatening to pull the empire apart from within.  What this means for the United  States' uncertain future is the subject of Chua's provocative and surprising conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amy Chua","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48437895495892,"sku":"9781400077410","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1a08842b-4e91-4267-8053-f99e7e6ae882.jpg?v=1786132580","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781400077410","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
