A notably scarce collection bringing together three articles Keynes wrote during a visit to Soviet Russia in September 1925 titled ‘What is the Communist Faith?’, ‘The Economics of Soviet Russia’ and ‘Communism’s Power to Survive’.
“A Short View of Russia failed to sell very well at the start. Issued by [Leonard] Woolf in December 1925 as number thirteen in the two-year-old Hogarth Essays series, Keynes’s pamphlet had sold only 700 copies by the end of February 1926. Perhaps his largely negative view of Soviet Russia told enthusiasts what they did not want to hear” (Willis, Leonard and Virginia Woolf as Publishers: The Hogarth Press, 1917-41, p. 219).
