The author uses world history, the Soviet experience, and economic analysis to demonstrate why swimming against the tide of history would be a huge mistake. The USSR sowed the seeds of its own economic destruction, and Gaidar worries that Russia is repeating some of those mistakes in its nostalgia for empire. Once again, for example, the nation is putting too many eggs into one basket, leaving the nation vulnerable to fluctuations in the energy market.
