unions, etc. Knowing how these actually operate exposes not only the es-
sence of modern colonial policy in its three various forms, but also the
periodization, or stage development, of capitalism.
Two of these counteracting causes, i.e., monopoly formation and the
growth of relative overpopulation are of special significance for explain-

B. The Transition from Competitive Capitalism to the Imperialist Stage
This transitional phase, lasting from the end of the 19th century up
to the inner-war period, is, according to Lenin, characterized by "unstable
equilibrium between competitive capitalism and monopoly capitalism." One
of the prominent features in the passage between these two stages in the
development of capitalism is the displacement of the small capitalist and
