A Tale of Two Systems: Comparison of Communism and Capitalism in Everyday Life.


Foreword by Raymond Aaron, New York Times Bestselling Author


A narrative of personal experiences and observations of an engineer who is assigned to work in Russia, the Soviet Union, followed by the United States. He flies to Moscow then from Moscow over the eastern side of Ukraine over more than 500 miles of nothing but farmland. No towns. No cities. The Russians described it as the breadbasket of the USSR. He flew down to the border between the Soviet Union and the Middle East.


A melting pot of culture and politics. He works in Russia with the Russian people, and finds them friendly and normal people. He returns to the west. He works on new computers in the United States, and find the Americans hard working, friendly and very open. A Tale of Two Systems is the honest diary of someone who has experienced two opposite governmental systems side by side. He finds a clear example of how the gulf between countries is not about the people, but about politics
