Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often controversial realm of international economic policy, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of "economic imperialism" during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author contends that European nations, driven by the belief that commercial interests are paramount, embarked on a quest for global economic dominance. This pursuit led to the subjugation of vast territories in Africa and Asia, transforming them into mere extensions of European economies. The author traces the historical roots of economic imperialism, drawing parallels with earlier mercantilist practices and highlighting the shift from sentimental and strategic motives to a more calculated and commercially driven approach. The analysis extends beyond a mere recounting of events, delving into the underlying beliefs and desires that fueled this expansionist drive. The book challenges the notion that economic prosperity is the ultimate goal of state action, prompting readers to question the true costs and consequences of prioritizing commercial interests above all else. By examining the complex interplay between power, policy, and commerce, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal period in history, shedding light on the enduring legacies of economic imperialism and its profound impact on the world we live in today.
