Between Capital and Imperialism: A Vanishing Point?

Capital and Imperialism achieves a rare congruence between theory and history, structure and narrative. This is not a question of a theoretical argument finding empirical substantiation as narrative, or history being staged so as to put forth a theoretical proposition. Rather, the work as a whole, as well as its unfolding in each of its moments, is simultaneously theoretical and historical. This relation between theory and history is reiterated in the substantive categories that form the title of the book i.e., Capital and Imperialism. That is to say the book works so as to become the vanishing point of the difference between the two.
