While war brings death and destruction, history shows that it has been a great driver of human progress. So argues libertarian political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg. His new book, "The Worth of War," details what he sees as the benefits civilizations have derived from armed conflict. Ginsberg is the David Bernstein Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Advanced Governmental Studies at the Johns Hopkins University. Original air date: 10/13/14.
