Drawing on data from various European colonial empires, Niemietz casts doubt on the claim - popular among both 19th-century imperialists and modern-day progressives - that empire was a crucial factor in the West's rise to prosperity. Instead, he shows that - its immorality aside - Western colonialism was simply bad economics.
