Abstract

This book is a detailed case study of a series of events in the international political economy of the early twentieth century. Although it has a clearly defined geographical focus in southern Africa and China, its approach is thematic in nature. It is essentially concerned with three major developments in the spread of international capitalism: the circulation of capital and labour power, and the mining and production of gold, the money commodity. In the period 1890–1914, gold served as a measure of value, a standard of prices and a world currency, by means of which a world-wide circulation of goods, capital and labour was achieved.
