Excerpt from The Curse of Cobdenism Although Free Trade came subsequently to my first appearance in the world, I confess that I did not begin to feel any doubt about its merits until near the end of the last century. The only apology I am able to make for having so long retained the opinions formed in youth, consists in the fact that my ideas of Cobdenism were not matured until I read Cobden's speeches, one of the most edifying of which is, in part, quoted in the followmg pages.

This book brings together important essays by distinguished scholars who have devoted past attention to the study of imperialism and development. It comple ments an anthology of previously published essays that brings together important theoretical perspectives around the issues and debates on these themes; this volume will be published by Humanity Press (forthcoming). Both projects relate to a lengthy chapter "Theories of Imperialism," which will be published in my book The ories of Comparative Political Economy (Forthcoming). These projects represent a culmination of many years of teaching in both economics and political science. During that time I taught two political science courses on development and under development, but I was unable to convince my colleagues of the usefulness of a course on imperialism that linked historical issues and debates with the more recent developmental literature. When in 1990 I was welcomed into economics, my col leagues endorsed a graduate seminar on the political economy of imperialism. Thus, this volume evolved out of that experience in an effort to encourage new analysis that reflects retrospectively on past contributions as well as the prospects for impe rialism and development in the contemporary world.
