788. To K. B. RADEK

Written in 1922, not later than October · First published in 1959 in Lenin Miscellany XXXVI. Printed from the original. · page 589

It would be well to have a book published as a textbook: a review of all the countries of the world; who owes whom how much; the advantageous and essential sources of revenue in each country.

In sum, a vivid and laconic picture of shameless domination by four imperialist powers (we shall translate it into all the languages; turn it into a textbook, making additions every two years).

The map should be clear.

The map should show the chief values;
—the chief debts;

all this presented visually, in diagrams, etc.
