BillWarren'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'.
Warren replies thatthis is largely undercut by the almost universal willingness of feudal classes to transform themselves, at least partly, into capitalist industrialisers once conditions are ripe.
In Warren's opinion, the more recent theories of imperialism, such as underdevelopment and dependency are best regarded as post-war versions of the views expressed by Lenin in Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism,or at any rate stemming, or continuing, from where he left off.
BillWarren takes an ecological approach to problems of perception and action, which asks: how much of the organization in behavior can be explained "for free" on the basis of informational and physical constraints in natural environments?
Finally, Dr. Warren studies how physical constraints are exploited to organize behavior in such tasks as infants learning to bounce in a "jolly jumper," and adults learning to bounce a ball on a racquet.
