Lars T. Lih's Lenin Rediscovered: "What Is to Be Done?" in Context, containing new translations of heretofore mangled Russian terms, proves that Lenin was not initially an authoritarian. It elucidates why What Is To Be Done? is more democratic than popularly believed, but The State and Revolution - not analyzed by Lih - is, ironically, less democratic, given its technocratic picture of "the dictatorship of the proletariat," an outgrowth of Marx's class-reductionist definition of politics and Engels' vision of communism as the "administration of things." This essay reveals what Lenin owed to Kautsky's democratic Marxism and critiques Lukacs' theoretical justification for " Leninism." (C) 2019 by The Transformative Studies Institute.

The PROJ method for pricing European options on one underlying asset was proposed by J. Lars Kirkby and then was applied to price Bermudan and Asian options. In this paper, we extend the method to higher dimensions, especially two-dimensions in which some exotic options can be priced. Our method does not rely on a-priori truncation of the integration range and exhibits excellent performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods, particularly for fatter-tailed short maturity models. We also discuss the errors introduced in each approximation and give corresponding error bounds. Numerical results on implementation of this method to price for popular two-assets options, under both the geometric Brownian Motion and Variance-Gamma dynamics, demonstrate remarkable accuracy and robustness.
