No, I'm not that vulgar, claims to the contrary. I was looking for
some kind of qualitative and quantitative account of the contribution
of imperialism to the maintenance of First World wealth. Is it
something that's constantly renewed every day, or is it mainly the
inheritance from an earlier colonialism? I got flamed for saying this
once, but the poorest countries in the world are poor mainly because
they're excluded from value production, not because they get the
short end of it. What do the 1.2 billion people who live on $1/day
contribute to our $25,000 per capita DPIs?
