Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism

Focusing on the role of financial capital, this work examines imperial colonialism as the culmination of capitalist evolution aimed at maximizing profits. It synthesizes Lenin's adaptations of Marxist economic theories from "Das Kapital," highlighting their relevance to modern economic frameworks. The text significantly impacted the Core-Periphery model, World-systems theory, and Dependency theory, making it a crucial read for understanding the dynamics of global capitalism. This 2011 reprint faithfully reproduces the original 1934 edition.
