Collected Works, Volume 2

Among the most influential political and social forces of the twentieth century, modern communism rests firmly on philosophical, political, and economic underpinnings developed by Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, later known as Lenin. For anyone who seeks to understand capitalism, the Russian Revolution, and the role of communism in the tumultuous political and social movements that have shaped the modern world, the works of Lenin offer unparalleled insight and understanding.

This second volume contains Lenin's works from 1895 to 1897. Included are Lenin's early economic and political writings, as well as his prescriptions for the program and strategy of Russian Marxism.
