Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Brown textured boards, dk. brown cloth spine wrap, gilt spine titles, slight wear. Pages very good, few pages little highlight. Dj moderate edge wear. Useful reference tool packed w/ a great deal of information and insights. Although the word has been reduced in public usage to an ideological level, serious scholars are still trying to come up with a useful concept of imperialism. In this survey, first published in German in 1977, historian Mommsen lays out the terrain by reviewing various theories of imperialism by types. In a very concise presentation, Mommsen looks at the first "political" interpretation of imperialism, put forward in the post-WW I period by Heinrich Friedjung, seeing it as a manifestation of national rivalry and the desire to expand dominion. This is counterpoised to the earlier and very influential economic theory of English journalist J. A. Hobson, which saw the cause of imperialism in surplus capital and the need for external markets, combined with a political ideology of nationalism. 180 pages.
