First edition in English of this report on the Second Congress of the Communist International. Octavo, original wrappers, from Petrograd and Moscow July 19 – August 7, 1920. Containing Vladimir Lenin’s speech responding to John Maynard Keynes’ article “The Economic Consequences of the Peace” on pages 19 -23. John Maynard Keynes was a British economist, whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. Originally trained in mathematics, he built on and greatly refined earlier work on the causes of business cycles, and was one of the most influential economists of the 20th century. In very good condition.
The Second Congress of the Communist International, held in Petrograd and Moscow in July–August 1920, was a formative event in the development of international communism following the Russian Revolution. Convened under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, the congress sought to define the ideological, organizational, and strategic principles of the Comintern, most notably through the adoption of the Twenty-One Conditions, which set strict requirements for membership and emphasized discipline, centralization, and revolutionary commitment. Bringing together delegates from Europe, Asia, and the Americas, the congress clarified the Comintern’s break with reformist socialism and articulated a vision of coordinated global revolution shaped by Marxist–Leninist doctrine and the political realities of the post–First World War period.
