Abstract
Economic dominance gave rise to a new colonialism. No longer was the colonial model maintained solely through military might. Economic power, backed up with military power when necessary, became the tool for expansion and global influence.
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
(William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1793)
