Wood Ellen Meiksins - Empire Of Capital - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Capitalism makes possible a new form of domination by purely economic means argues Ellen Meiksins Wood. So surely even the most seasoned White House hawk would prefer to exercise global hegemony in this way without costly colonial entanglements. Yet as Wood powerfully demonstrates the economic empire of capital has also created a new unlimited militarism. By contrasting the new imperialism to historical forms such as the Roman and Spanish empire and by tracing the development of capitalist imperialism back to the English domination of Ireland and on the British Empire in America and India Wood shows how today's capitalist empire a global economy administered by local states has come tom spawn a new military doctrine of war without end in purpose or time.
