There might be a few cultural references that wouldn't make sense, but the vast majority of the book is written with a thoroughly Western audience in mind, an audience that might be only marginally aware of what the Soviet Union was actually like to live in.

Actually, I don't think we're that far apart on economics.

Yet we always find the points of contention, rather than the convergences.
