Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism

This book is a seminal work by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, written in 1916, in which he analyzes the evolution of capitalism and its transformation into the stage of imperialism. Lenin examines the primary economic features of imperialism, including the concentration of production and capital, the merging of bank and industrial capital, the export of capital, the formation of international monopolist associations, and the territorial division of the world among the greatest capitalist powers.
