Abstract: Bill Warren's book, Imperialism, Pioneer of Capitalism, performs a useful service by refuting much of the mythology that the left has embraced in the name of 'anti-imperialism'. On the other hand, he manages to create his own brand of confusion. He does this, firstly, by blaming Lenin's Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism for many of the left's erroneous views. And secondly, he is so busy extolling the historical mission of capitalism, that no effort is devoted to discussing how capitalism is an obstacle to human development and is becoming increasingly obsolete. Despite these shortcomings it is the myth shattering quality of the book that predominates.
