The last two hundred years have seen a massive increase in the size of the world economy and equally massive inequalities of wealth and power between different parts of the world. They have also witnessed the rise to dominance of the capitalist mode of production. Marxists, from Marx himself through to present day thinkers, have argued that these changes are profoundly interconnected. This book offers a unique account of Marxist theories of Imperialism. It has been fully updated and expanded to cover all the developments since its initial publication and will be essential reading for any student of Marxism.

Richard Cantillon, writing fifty years before Adam Smith, was the first to see the economy as an interrelated whole, and the first to give a coherent account of how it works. This is the first comprehensive study of his economic theory and of his place in the history of the subject.

"Pity For Sale, the latest collection by multimedia cognoscenteTony Brewer, is an inexhaustible thread of musicality, smacking through the bare-boned truths of our time.Cleverly sardonic with righteous fluidity, he unpacks the frame-work of what is necessary to reflect on: Western culturesymbolizing the Ouroboros. The agroecological descendants strutting with pride and constructing passionate, and almostprimitive identities. Political dependency breeding dehuman-ization, yet the next round's on you to honor kept company. Brewer appraises "weighing the stars" as an anecdotal process while nodding to the culture jammers. It is a jolt-wrung declaration to "the tough love motherfuckers, full of backbone & bite." This is the rush unearthed from your pining for more." -Brooke Nicole Plummer, author of Ceremonious and Shutting Up For the Drillbit"In his latest collection, Tony Brewer uses literary wordplay to create small acts of magic. These pieces, which jump around, using both elements of his life, as well as the culture we all have to swim in, be it pop or otherwise. Pity for Sale is full of both regret and hope and music, it has a life of its own, a life that is both relatable, and private, one that Brewer is asking his readers to tap into and to bear witness, with each poem-offering another chance to begin again."-John Dorsey, Author of Sundown at the Redneck Carnival

"The work of Tony Brewer, while gentle and meditative, maintains a weight and impact that creeps up slowly. Humorous at times, without being silly. Serious, without losing its fun. A child discovering his mortality. A pistol at a poetry reading. The politics of shaving your balls. This is the world of Tony Brewer, and it might be your world too."- J.I.B., author of AMERICAN TELEVISION"Tony Brewer, an observer of the history of both art and war and a practitioner of ritual, constructs poems the same way others have constructed pyramids, tuned up trucks, or accessorized their human limbs. Here in Good Job, Lightning, he guides us through the psychodrama of parking lots and relationships, while steering us safely clear of bar fights, explosions, and the stomping feet of gods, and we will be better for it."-Jonathan S. Baker, author of Pressure, editor at Pure Sleeze Press, and host of Poetry Speaks: Poetry and Spoken Word Performances"The poems in Good Job, Lightning are understated ironic critiques of a surreal American landscape populated by a literalized back-alley arms dealer; giggling Dalai Lama acolytes; and an unhoused woman, who carries spare underwear in "a big bag full / of wrong chargers." Surreal vignettes alternate with tantalizing glimpses of personal experience: ghosting a wannabe Facebook friend; parking lot foreplay before shopping at Kroger; and the cathartic burial of a stolen pocketknife. Thus, the personal and the political are welded together throughout this collection-the undercurrent of memory being the lightning that does its good quicksilver job."-Hiromi Yoshida, author of Green Roses Bloom for Icarus
