Russia 2010: And What It Means for the World

This is a book written in 1993. Frankly, I did not realize it when I first grabbed the book. I thought it is a book written in 2010 and the author will tell us everything about Russia in 2010…What a “beautiful misunderstanding”!!! LOL…

Like I mentioned above, it was my mistake in the first place. As such, negativity had existed just when I finished the preface. I knew that I am in the wrong place, studying the wrong book. It is definitely not the book I want. I am not keen on predictions, forecasting or any sort of outlook for the future. After all, I truly believe that human beings cannot predict precisely. Hence, what is the point of reading something which may not be correct at the end? The fact is… certain forecasting by the author was proved wrong in year 2014. With due respect to the author, I thought I went through tons of wrong facts and wrong information… although the foundation behind each idea may seems valid in the first place. Again, it justifies my points that prediction and forecasting may not have value in long run.

Rating wise, I am going to give 2/10. I appreciate the author’s hard work in producing this book. It could serves as an effective model for countries planning. Well worth studying for those who love this sort of stuff. As for me, this is definitely not my cup of tea.
