How does imperialism function economically today? What constitutes economic imperialism and what is the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall? In this episode, Lukas Slothuus and Ashok Kumar ask Michael Roberts, co-author (with Guiglielmo Carchedi) of the The Economics of Modern Imperialism, from the most recent journal issue 29.4 of Historical Materialism. The article is open-access and free for all.
