The eight books reprinted in this set played an influential role in
defining attitudes and expectations about Imperialism on the
British Left in the 20th century and are vital in understanding the
transition from the liberal anti-imperialism of the 19th century to
the more overtly socialist critiques of the 20th. In particular,
they chart the emergence of British theories of financial
Imperialism, which was inspired initially by the South African
crisis and the Boer war of 1899-1902 and subsequently generalized
and refined in the face of world war and the rise of facism. They
were also important in disseminating new ideas about the pace and
nature of colonial economic development which began to influence
British imperial practice between the wars. The authors, who
include Leonard Woolf and Ramsey MacDonald, were all men of
widespread influence whether as journalists, academics, civil
servants or even active politicians: three became members of
Parliament, with Ramsey MacDonald becoming the first Labour Prime
Minister in 1924.
