About the Book:
-
Theme: The Age of Imperialism is a foundational work that explores the nature of American imperialism. Harry Magdoff’s research and analysis highlight the unique features of American imperialism, distinguishing it from historical empires like Imperial Britain and Imperial Germany. His detailed and well-researched arguments offer a comprehensive look at the existence of the American empire, particularly in the context of its post-World War I dominance.
-
Content: This book brings together articles that initially stirred considerable interest in the U.S. and globally when they were first published. Magdoff’s work systematically documents the structure of American imperialism, exploring the economic and political mechanisms behind it. His rigorous scholarship and clear analysis of the economic categories involved provide critical insights into imperialism and its modern-day manifestations.
-
Purpose: The book serves as a key text for understanding the economic and political dimensions of imperialism in the 20th century. Magdoff’s analysis has influenced a generation of scholars and writers, particularly those contributing to Monthly Review, who critique imperialism through a Marxist lens.
-
Significance: Written by one of the foremost scholars of imperialism, this work remains an essential resource for anyone interested in the economic underpinnings of global dominance and the role of the U.S. as an imperial power.
