Description
The economics of imperialism has long been a topic of debate. In this book, Kristian Niemietz examines the empirical work of modern historians of colonialism and the views of contemporary figures to explore the economic impact of Western colonialism. By looking at data from various European colonial empires, Niemietz challenges the popular claim that empire was a crucial factor in the West's rise to prosperity. Instead, he argues that Western colonialism was simply bad economics, driven by vested interests using the state to secure private benefits.
