Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism
Description
A landmark Marxist analysis of the economic forces driving modern imperialism, this work examines how industrial concentration, banking power, and the rise of finance capital reshape competition among nations. It argues that the pursuit of extraordinary profits encourages the export of capital, colonial expansion, and rivalry among powerful states, linking global domination to the inner workings of capitalism. Building on and extending Marx’s economic theories, the book offers a concise, polemical interpretation of international power, inequality, and the development of the capitalist system.
