Important history lesson by Niall Ferguson, Harvard professor

I saw this video and it was like listening to a history class in college. It might be because Niall Ferguson is a Harvard professor. I have to admit history was never this interesting for me during my school years.

I like the way he uses history to illustrate what America is going through now and what challenges it will have to deal with. The video is called Niall Ferguson: U.S. Empire in Decline, on Collision Course with China.
