Abstract

This chapter presents a short introduction and chapter wise summary. The book sets out to confront the question what motivates imperial expansion under the capitalist economic system? In particular, it focuses on the economic motivations of expansion. This undoubtedly is related to two fundamental research questions in economic sciences. First, what factors explain the divergence in living standards across countries? Second, what ensures internal and external stability of the capitalist economic system? Overall, the book is divided into five parts. Part I presents a theoretical framework. Part II deals with the history of Early Modern and Modern Europe. Part III deals with the history of the Post-war period till the present. Part IV concludes with an analysis of the geopolitical implications of COVID 19 and some predictions for the future. Part V presents a literature survey.
