Imperialism: The Giving Hand

Imperialism is a country that dominates other countries, and when it first appears it is an amazingly powerful force. New imperialism rises like tides, in quiet waters, mainly in Asia and Africa. By the beginning of the 20th century, one fifth of the world's land was dominated by Europe. The new imperialism collapsed before 1945, but until that time it irreversibly affected the colony and had material, political, cultural and social impacts. Walter Rodney insists that this effect is "a gang in one arm" and only has a negative effect.

Alan Hodgart made a comprehensive assessment of the economic power of European imperialism. This book is looking at this subject from the perspective of Marxism and Anti Marxism. On the other hand, Marxists such as Lenin and Hobson explained imperialism as an extension of capitalist opportunism. The driving force of all imperialists is to export capital to overseas and less competitive markets. Politics and ideology are the validity of this economic phenomenon. Meanwhile, anti-Marxists represented by Joseph Schumpeter believe that imperialism is the result of meaningless expansion of national compatibility. The author also expresses Weber's view of the spirit of capitalism; this is the greatest concern of a strong capitalist and is constantly expanding.

There is a reason why nationalism has a bad reputation in the western world. The reason for this is imperialism. In the West, love to the country is closely related to trying to expand the border in most cases with power. The borders of Europe are rewritten in blood and nationalism - and the spirit of the sword missionary must always be remembered. The Westfalen Convention (1648) is the ancestor of the modern nation state and has concluded the war of 30 years in Europe. But how did the war start? It began in 1618 when the Austrian Habsburg dynasty tried to make the Roman Catholic Church Protestant of Bohemia. This is a combination of patriotism and religious zeal (Christian reform and struggle between Catholics and Protestants), which caused the most deadly conflict in the history of Europe. And this is not all
