A unique dissection of British imperialism from the angle of the economic, steering clear (for the most part) of sentimentality for a topic so rich and deep-rooted in subjugation and the perversion of human existence. An objective assessment of traditional capitalist motivation which manifests in man’s ultimate desire for power and urges him to dominate and persecute his brothers to a distant end.

read this for class and it was pretty good. race analysis takes a bit too much of a back seat to class analysis in how he explained the nature of slavery itself. but the general economic analysis of british abolition makes sense. whole book was compelling and i enjoyed reading it.
