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