The Purpose Of Economics Is To Camouflage Imperialism — Ramanan

Capitalism, imperialism and colonialism were joined at the hip at the birth of capitalism as an iteration of feudalism in which landlords had to admit industrialists and financiers to the club.

Neoliberalism is an iteration of this arrangement that is joined to the hip of neo-imperialism and neocolonialism.

The political arrangement that corresponds to this economic arrangement is oligarchy.
