The latest issue of Against the Current has an article by Ellen Meiksins
Wood that makes many of the same points in her radio interview that I
commented on last week and which are developed at length in her new book
"Empire of Capital".

imperialism, to put it simply, was the direct exercise of coercive force
to capture territory, to extract labor or resources from subject
peoples, or to gain control of trade routes.
