Imperialists were creating a framework within which capital might act, or, they thought, ought to act. ’35 As a result of the ‘imperialism’ of this phase, Africa was ‘partitioned’, though not China, as widely expected, and Southeast Asia was divided anew.
In turn we may be warned against simplistic answers. Marx thought of the nineteenth century as another sixteenth century. When Britain signed the Elgin treaty with Japan in 1858, he took it as a sign that ‘world trade was taking a new direction’. Bourgeois society, he wrote to Engels, has experienced its sixteenth century a second time – a sixteenth century which will, I hope, sound the death knell of bourgeois society, just as the first one thrust it into existence. The particular task of bourgeois society is the establishment of the world market, at least in outline, and of production based upon the world market.
