It was fragile

2020-10-22 11:49:44 UTC  

suicide rates and alcoholism went through the roof

2020-10-22 11:50:40 UTC  

Also half of these are like famines and I just really don’t see how a famine is a result of capitalism

2020-10-22 11:50:59 UTC  

the only famines included are ones related to capitalism

2020-10-22 11:51:18 UTC  

Ireland due to the British policy increasing bread prices to make more money and refusing help

2020-10-22 11:51:27 UTC  

Bengal because the British demanded all food grown went to them

2020-10-22 11:51:30 UTC  

so the people starved

2020-10-22 11:51:34 UTC  

again, to make a profit

2020-10-22 11:51:42 UTC  

same at orissa

2020-10-22 11:51:48 UTC  

I think those are the only famines there

2020-10-22 11:52:08 UTC  

I don’t know enough about those events to make a certain opinion on them

2020-10-22 11:52:28 UTC  

But the colonization in Africa was definitely for military power over the Mediterranean

2020-10-22 11:53:06 UTC  

colonization was mainly done to make more profit

2020-10-22 11:53:11 UTC  

access to new markets, new goods

2020-10-22 11:53:18 UTC  

more profit

2020-10-22 11:53:54 UTC  

there may have been other reasons depending on the strategic area but the core reason for colonialism was to make more profit

2020-10-22 11:56:07 UTC  

Hi I'm new

2020-10-22 11:59:14 UTC  

No it wasn't lol

2020-10-22 12:00:42 UTC  

It was gain docks, and bases across the medi

2020-10-22 12:00:52 UTC  

even India was ruled by a business...

2020-10-22 12:01:14 UTC  

Empires were built to obtain cheap labour and raw materials for mercantile capitalism. It wasn’t the kind of globalized, “free-market” capitalism we practice today — but it was very much self-interested, profit-maximizing, shareholder-capitalized companies engaged in commerce, just under different rules about who could trade what, where, how, and when. The means of production were very much operated privately for profit - a key aspect of capitalism.

- some havard economist cant remember their name

2020-10-22 12:01:41 UTC  

If you cant remember the name how are we supposed to confirm it?

2020-10-22 12:01:46 UTC

2020-10-22 12:01:50 UTC

2020-10-22 12:01:52 UTC

2020-10-22 12:02:08 UTC  

Just search up professor wolff and he'll show up.

2020-10-22 12:02:13 UTC  

India was ruled by the british crown

2020-10-22 12:02:28 UTC  

It was ruled by the British East India Company

2020-10-22 12:02:41 UTC  

Once more the british crown

2020-10-22 12:02:43 UTC  

the primary reason for colonisation was profit

2020-10-22 12:03:08 UTC  

I find this hilarious cuz from ur pfp's it looks like the emperor and a hippy are arguing over politics

2020-10-22 12:03:14 UTC  

The africas were to poor to be worth colonizing though.

2020-10-22 12:03:24 UTC  

not true

2020-10-22 12:03:28 UTC  

Yes true

2020-10-22 12:03:29 UTC

2020-10-22 12:03:37 UTC

2020-10-22 12:03:54 UTC  

Slaves were not a thing in france nor england during the colonizing

2020-10-22 12:03:57 UTC  

There's a reason Africa was colonised last, it wasn't as profitable

2020-10-22 12:04:34 UTC  

Petrolium isnt a very profitable venture in africa

2020-10-22 12:04:39 UTC
