"Myt tale of two worlds by Lement Harris is a challenging and fascinating autobiography that should be read by everyone seeking a solution to today's urgent problems. The author, though coming from an affluent American family, recognized erly in his life the fatal defects of Capitalism and the advantages of Socialism. He brings out the contrast primarily by describing, often with humor, his first-hand experiences in American and Soviet agriculture, finding the latter distinctly more rational and successful." - from the back cover.
