Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century: Globalization, Super-Exploitation, and Capitalisms Final Crisis 384 pp, $28 pbk, ISBN: 9781583675779 By John Smith

Reviewed by Gabriel Kuhn

John Smith opens his study Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century with a flashback to the collapse of Rana Plaza in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in April 2013. With more than 1000 garment workers killed, it was one of the worst workplace disasters in recorded history. Smith emphasizes that its occurrence in a country with some of the most exploited workers on the planet is hardly coincidental. Rather, it is a stark reminder of a brutal global regime serving the interests of capital and disregarding the lives of millions of people feeding it, most of whom live in what was once known as the Third World and is today commonly referred to as the Global South.
