Sinopsis

Those seeking a handle on the nature of modern capitalism and war, can do no better than to start with this incisive analysis by Lenin &ndash, it still applies, writ large, today.Ideologically a Marxist, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, (better known as Lenin), wrote copiously on political and economic systems, passionately believing in the need for a total rejection of capitalism by the proletariat worldwide.Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism looks at how Western capitalism in the mid-1800s transitioned inexorably from small businesses competing with one another into huge monopolies that concentrated labour, industry, natural resources and bank finance. Competition, a core element of capitalism, was a casualty of this process and most of the profits went to a top strata of society. Because the system was inherently growth-driven, the powerful oligarchy of financiers, industrialists and governments sought new prospects outside of their native countries in the form ofá a territorial &lsquo,land grab&rsquo, backed by military might.áá This last inexorable stage of capitalism saw the world&rsquo,s undeveloped countries carved up between the likes of Great Britain, France and Germany and was, in Lenin&rsquo,s view, the very essence of imperialism, a state of affairs to be countered at all costs.
