"The Triple Package" and Sowell, with Amy Chua

The Genius of Thomas Sowell

In this episode, I explore the work and ideas of Amy Chua.
Amy is not only a tenured Professor of Law at Yale University, she is also a bestselling author of several books. Her most famous books was published in 2011 and is called "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother."
Amy told me that she was a huge fan of Thomas Sowell but what I didn’t know at the time is that Thomas Sowell is also a huge fan of Amy Chua.
Find out why in this episode, as I explore Amy's ideas about political tribalism and why some groups succeed more than others, a theme which is right up Sowell Alley.
Amy just wrote her first novel called "The Golden Gate," which I highly recommend you read. Here are her other, non-fiction books:
2002: World On Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability.
2007: Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance – and Why They Fall.
2011: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.
2014: The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America.
2018: Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations.
