Failed States

Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism

War is a Racket This one is from the most decorated Marines in US history.

Occupy Finance. This one is (indirectly) about dependency theory on a national scale. The people of the US have become victims of capital. They go into debt for their health, transportation, education, housing, and daily activities with credit cards. They then put their pensions at the whim of the stock market, as it is plundered by Wall Street. When capitalism can no longer expand geographically, it needs to plunder the lives of people to maintain itself. In this case, the first source of capital to exploit was the lives of the people of the US. Unlike Europe, the US populace was left defenseless in the wake of the attack because of a history of active repression of the left (like COINTELPRO).

The financialization of the US populace is discussed in this essay from the Monthly Review, Monopoly Finance Capital. Here is a book on the topic.

Africa has a rich history and experience with Marxism, especially the Maoist inspired anti-colornial revolutions. It is interesting to see the neo-liberal ideological turn of many parties such as the South African Communist Party.

How Europe Underdeveloped Africa - Marxist analysis of how Europe underdeveloped and exploited Africa

Dancing in the Glory of Monsters - This book covers the Second Congo War which was the deadliest conflict since World War 2. It occurred between 1998 and 2003 and shockingly few people are even aware it happened at all. Definitely worth reading up on.

Not development, but underdevelopment. Worth a read.

The reviews should tell you everything:
>My impression from the book is as follows. Mr. Rodney is clearly a communist and has bought into the whole manifesto. Colonialism and capitalism are evil while communism is the only way forward. As the title suggests, he focuses on how capitalism has destroyed Africa.

Reminds me of a discussion I had with a guy who believed colonialism was good for Africa. Not "not bad", but "good" for Africa.
