Imperialism and the Social Classes is a book written by Joseph A. Schumpeter in 1951. The book explores the relationship between imperialism and social classes, arguing that imperialism is a product of the capitalist system and the struggle between different social classes. Schumpeter argues that imperialism is not simply a result of economic interests, but rather a manifestation of the struggle for power between different social classes. He examines the role of the bourgeoisie in promoting imperialism, and the ways in which imperialism affects the working class and the peasantry. Schumpeter also explores the impact of imperialism on international relations and the global economy. The book is a significant contribution to the field of political economy and provides a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between imperialism and social classes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
