The essay is a synthesis of Lenin's modifications and developments of economic theories that Karl Marx formulated in \"Das Kapital\". Lenin's book greatly influenced the Core-Periphery model of global capitalist development, as well as World-systems theory and Dependency theory.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34745369428013,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/products\/fuf159a52609e77a5f03a845d07dc86f8a.jpg?v=1608942929"},{"product_id":"lenin","title":"Lenin (Critical Lives)","description":"\u003cp class=\"book_authors\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924) is the man most associated with communism and its influence and reach around the world. Lenin was the leader of the communist Bolshevik party during the October 1917 revolution in Russia, and he subsequently headed the Soviet state until 1924, bringing stability to the region and establishing a socialist economic and political system. In Lenin, Lars T. Lih presents a striking new interpretation of Lenin’s political beliefs and strategies. Until now, Lenin has been portrayed as a pessimist with a dismissive view of the revolutionary potential of the workers. However, Lih reveals that underneath the sharp polemics, Lenin was actually a romantic enthusiast rather than a sour pragmatist, one who imposed meaning on the whirlwind of events going on around him. This concise and unique biography is based on wide-ranging new research that puts Lenin into the context both of Russian society and of the international socialist movement of the early twentieth century. It also sets the development of Lenin’s political outlook firmly within the framework of his family background and private life. In addition, the book’s images, which are taken from contemporary photographs, posters, and drawings, illustrate the features of Lenin’s world and time. A vivid, non-ideological portrait, Lenin is an essential look at one of the key figures of modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"movie_actors\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished 2011\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35158507159597,"sku":"BS#07","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/files\/FullSizeRender_2830b597-6fb5-41da-81c6-573c8e8b3da2.jpg?v=1752028357"},{"product_id":"collected-works-volume-1","title":"Collected Works: Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong 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.

In the short intervening period he spent in Finland, he wrote his impassioned, never-completed masterwork The State and Revolution. This powerfully argued book offers both the rationale for the new regime and a wealth of insights into Leninist politics. It was here that Lenin justified his personal interpretation of Marxism, savaged his opponents and set out his trenchant views on class conflict, the lessons of earlier revolutions, the dismantling of the bourgeois state and the replacement of capitalism by the dictatorship of the proletariat.
