Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism

A modern and clean edition of the classic "Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism". Ordered the book for a college class and I saved quite some money compared to other editions. The book includes all the tables and graphs. The front and back covers are made of thick glossy paper (conventional soft-cover material). The inside pages are of excellent quality for the price. I've had the book for several months and it has suffered little damage. Overall, would recommend!

It’s a prefect copy if you need to make marks in it, or to lend to someone

We get to see Lenin describing capitalism over a century ago and see that all the details he makes about concertation of wealth and the monopolization of the economy have since gotten significantly worse.

Great read!

I’ve never heard somebody defend why I love the state so much and that we should continue with our monetary means to be happier

•Monopoly seems to be inevitable. •Labor unions need to be formed everywhere possible and special care should be taken to keep their leaders from being corrupted. •Financial predation seems to be characteristic of capitalism, which really appears to be more imperialist than anything. For more visual information on how banks and other financial institutions more or less own everything, look for the 13F reports of JPMORGAN, Bank of America, Citigroup, BlackRock, Vanguard, Ensign Peak Advisors, and more A dense read, but Lenin did a good job getting his point across.

This is a great read the book is mid-1800 about how big companies became monopolies by legal and illegal paths they started to acquire a variety of productive and commercial branches, which eventually will acquire not only every branch of production but all the sectors that were related to it, from the production of raw materials to transportation and marketing. They were conglomerates that Lenin called the Trust. Similar to what Amazon and Facebook(Meta) do acquire any competitive market and consolidate a whole industry.

Clearly eye opening in terms of present day finance capital movement, great emphasis was placed on industrization however little mention of influencers such as A. Carnegie or J Pierpont morgan, a bit centralized as government systems seemed curtained by big industries, All in all imperialism is ultra privatization of globalized capital hence monopolies, trusts an cartels being formed. P.s is it grow or grew? #V.I.Lenin

I started having interest in communism just recently, and I thank the opportunity to be able to read such book.

excellent introduction, book contents, and edition

Cool

Everyone should read Lenin, he showed how to put Marx's work into action. This is a good read.

Good
