The book presents a compelling argument linking capitalism with imperialism, asserting that they are fundamentally intertwined. Zak Cope employs a rigorous political economic framework to expose the continuous transfer of wealth from poorer to richer nations through mechanisms like monopoly rent and colonial tribute. This analysis reveals a stark international class divide, highlighting the disparity between the affluent Global North and the impoverished Global South, underscoring the exploitation inherent in these economic systems.
