The dominant idea that it somehow threatens to ‘catch up’ economically, or overtake the rich countries paves the way for imperialist military and economic aggression against China. King’s meticulous study punctures the rising-China myth. His empirical and theoretical analysis shows that, as long as the world economy continues to be run for private profit, it can no longer produce new imperialist powers. Rather it will continue to reproduce the monopoly of the same rich countries generation after generation. The giant social divide between rich and poor countries cannot be overcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Sam King offers an important intervention to critical\/radical\/Marxist literature on the political economy of (under)development in the Third World\/Global South in the neoliberal era by critically and comprehensively engaging with the notion of imperialism.'\u003cbr\u003eGonenc Uysal, Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, \u003ci\u003eCapital \u0026amp; Class\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 46, Issue 2)\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword – Michael Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Two worlds\u003cbr\u003e1 Income polarisation in the neoliberal period\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Contemporary Marxist analysis\u003cbr\u003e2 Decline of Marxist analysis of imperialism\u003cbr\u003e3 Contemporary Marxist response to world polarisation\u003cbr\u003e4 The idea of China as a rising threat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Lenin’s theory of imperialism and its contemporary application\u003cbr\u003e5 What Lenin’s book does \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e say\u003cbr\u003e6 Is imperialism the 'highest stage of capitalism'?\u003cbr\u003e7 Lenin’s monopoly \u003ci\u003ecapitalist\u003c\/i\u003e competition\u003cbr\u003e8 Monopoly and the Marx’s labour theory of value\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart IV: Monopoly and non-monopoly capital: the economic core of imperialism\u003cbr\u003e9 Neoliberal polarisation of capital\u003cbr\u003e10 Polarised specialisation of nations\u003cbr\u003e11 Non-monopoly Third World capital\u003cbr\u003e12 Neoliberal globalisation in historical context\u003cbr\u003e13 The industrialisation of everything\u003cbr\u003e14 Growing state dominance\u003cbr\u003e15 Stranglehold: the reproduction of highest labour power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart V: Super-exploitation of China and why catch-up is not possible\u003cbr\u003e16 China: Third World capitalism par excellence\u003cbr\u003e17 The new Imperialist cold war against China\u003cbr\u003e18 Trade war and China’s latest attempts at upgrading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041039221079,"sku":"9781526171917","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526171917.jpg?v=1750948707","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/imperialism-and-the-development-myth-how-rich-countries-dominate-in-the-twenty-first-century-9781526171917","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
