Key Points

  • To analyze the concept of imperialist rent and its implications for labor dynamics between the North and South.
  • Developed Marx's price of production concept to include extra profits
  • Used historical and theoretical analysis of the extractive sector
  • Examined Marx's analysis of Ireland as an example of capitalist underdevelopment
