Economic History and Economic Thought: The Case of Colonization
Abstract
The term ‘colonization’ covers both colonies of European settlement in the temperate region and colonies of European non-settler conquest in the tropics. The role of colonization in both senses in the dynamics of capitalism has been studied almost exclusively by authors belonging to the heterodox tradition in economics, notably the Marxist tradition; ‘mainstream’ economics has, to its disadvantage, generally ignored the subject.
