Review:
Warren s polemic lets a welcome gust of fresh air into a Marxist literature which has become little more than a cozy exercise in mutual reinforcement This is the heaviest blow yet struck at dependency theory and all its antecedents.
Bill Warren s study of imperialism is clearly one of the most stimulating and compelling books of recent years.
This book is likely to be the center of theoretical, empirical and political controversy for some years to come.
This book, clearly written, original in content and logic, iconoclastic and tightly argued, presents a compelling challenge to many of the chief tenets of contemporary liberal and Marxist thinkers/activists.

Bill Warren (1935-1978) was a British Communist, originally a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and later a contributor to New Left Review. In his last years he was a member of the British and Irish Communist Organization. He is best remembered as the author of Imperialism: Pioneer of Capitalism. This unconventional Marxist analysis was published posthumously in 1980 and is still being debated.
