Reviews
A must-read for scholars and students of political economy and those interested in globalisation issues. * Christian Aid News * There is an emerging debate about what the British development specialist Robert Biel calls ""The New Imperialism""...the new Northern imperialism sucks out what's best from the South and grafts these assets onto their winning societies, leaving the carcase of underdevelopment behind. * G. Pascal Zachary in 'In These Times' * The importance of this book is its focus on the essential nature of capitalism as it really operates as a global system - namely that it does not permit the ""backward regions"" to catch up with the more advanced but, on the contrary, produces and reproduces a widening gap between them. This reality is simply ignored by conventional economists who, as a result, are not analysing actually existing capitalism, but an imaginary system of markets governed by so-called pure economic laws. * Samir Amin *
