Book about why the soviet education system is better than the US. (forgotten title)

[melchi]

I heard on a podcast somewhere that there was a book that scared the US Populus in the cold war. I can't remember the title. I think it might have been something like "Why Ivan is smarter than timmy" but can't figure it out. The podcast said that is the book that got Dr Seuss to start writing children's books. Does anyone know the title?

Wrong website to be searching for this book my guy. IDK if questions about political propaganda books is even allowed on this website. Also, is Google or another search engine not available to you?

I'm not quite sure, it might have been radiolab, this american life or snap judgement. Those are the three that I tend to hear on the radio.

I don't know about the book. Rather, it was article in the "Life" magazine.

That would explain why I couldn't find the book. It was in fact a magazine article.

The claim seems untenable at best in the face of historical data. A certain degree of backwardness always plagued the Russian Empire.

I don't think the czars cared much about education.
