3 3 Lenin (as does Hobson) often uses the terms interchangeably or relates one to the other. For example: “Colonial policy and imperialism existed before this latest stage of capitalism, and even before capitalism” (Lenin 1917/1939: 81–2); see also Williams and Chrisman (1994b: 1).

10 10 These include Duhamel (1931); Williams (1962); McCreary (1962); Duignan and Gann (1992); Kuisel (1993); Kroes et al. (1993).

11 11 Including Campbell (2003); and Beck et al. (2003).
