Bertrand Russell Box Set: The Practice a Bertrand Russell
The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, first published in 1920, is Bertrand Russell's critique of the Communist system he witnessed in the Soviet Union. As a proponent of collectivist ideals, Russell believed that the future happiness of humanity depended upon different ways of production and business. He observed that the Bolsheviks pursued their goals with brutality rather than with an idealistic hope which nurtured the individual. Russell concluded that Bolshevism saw itself as a religion, with practices and dogmatic beliefs that did not permit independent thinking. 

Russel’s sympathetic study, The Problem of China, was originally published in 1922, following the author's return from a year spent as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing. The book deals with China’s history, social forces and the character of its people.
