Эта книга о том, что делает нас русскими, а американцев – американцами. Чем мы отличаемся друг от друга в восприятии мира и себя? Как думаем и как реагируем на происходящее? И что сделало нас такими, какие мы есть? Известный журналист-международник Михаил Таратута провел в США 12 лет. Его программа «Америка с Михаилом Таратутой» во многом открывала нам эту страну. В книге автор показывает, как несходство исторических путей и культурных кодов русских и американцев определяет различия в быту, карьере, подходах к бизнесу и политике. А главное, отвечает на вопрос – возможно ли взаимодействие между нашими народами.
