No, I'm not that vulgar, claims to the contrary. I was looking for 
some kind of qualitative and quantitative account of the contribution 
of imperialism to the maintenance of First World wealth. Is it 
something that's constantly renewed every day, or is it mainly the 
inheritance from an earlier colonialism? I got flamed for saying this 
once, but the poorest countries in the world are poor mainly because 
they're excluded from value production, not because they get the 
short end of it. What do the 1.2 billion people who live on $1/day 
contribute to our $25,000 per capita DPIs?
