Message: <blockquote data-quote="bigbadwolf" data-source="post: 26910" data-attributes="member: 722">I haven't seen the film (yet) but I suspect it taps into a rich vein of thought -- originating with Kautsky, Lenin, Hobson, and Hilferding, upto the contemporary Foster and Magdoff -- about the intimate ties between finance capitalism and the imperial project. I've just started reading the riveting and absorbing book, "Imperialism and Global Political Economy," by Alex Callinicos, which has recently been published, and which goes into these matters in much more historical depth. I recommend it, if you have some nascent interest in this sort of thing. Correction: Foster and Magdoff are more into the explosive growth of finance capitalism during the last three decades, than the connection between finance and imperialism.</blockquote>
