Mr. Schultze-Gewerntz. "BRITISH IMPERIALISM"
The greatest scoundrel, philistine, Kantian, religious, chauvinist—has collected some very interesting facts about British imperialism and written a lively, not boring book. He traveled around England, gathered a lot of material and observations. The gentlemen English have plundered, let us also plunder, "sanctifying" the plunder with Kant, God, patriotism, science = this is the essence of the position of this "scholar"!!
(A lot of unnecessary chatter).
In the introduction, there is a story about what the "foundations of British world power" are—the struggle with Holland, France... the great role of Puritanism, religiosity ((extremely)), sexual discipline, etc.
In England, "sects rely on the middle classes and partly on the upper strata of workers, while the broad masses of middle workers, especially in large cities, are generally little accessible to religious influences" [43].
p. 56: The Republic and Cromwell greatly advanced imperialism in England and especially the construction of the Fleet: during Charles's reign, no more than 2 "line ships" were built per year, during the republic up to 22 in one year (1654).

correct!!
at the height of Manchesterism and free trade, foreign policy was moving forward particularly vigorously: 4840—42 Opium-Krieg; expenses on the fleet (S. 73):
1837— 3 sh. 3 d. per capita.
1890—10 »
From 1866 to 1900, colonial possessions doubled (ibidem)
Noch Sir Robert Peel hatte gesagt: «In jeder unserer Kolonien besitzen wir ein zweites Irland»»... (75)
«Gerade gegen Ausgang des 19. Jahrhunderts hat das britische Reich einen unersättlichen Appetit bewiesen: Birma, Belutschistan, Ägypten, der Sudan, Uganda, Khodesia, die südafrikanischen Republiken wurden verspeist».. (87)...
Mittlerweile wurde Multatuli erwähnt, wie er die europäische Kolonialregierung beschreibt (104)
...«asiatische Staaten, welche Lord Curzon als «Glacis der indischen Festung» bezeichnet hat: Persien, Afghanistan, Tibet und Siam» (119).
«England wächst aus dem Industriestaat allmählich in den Gläubigerstaat. Trotz absoluter Zunahme der industriellen Produktion, auch der industriellen Ausfuhr, steigt die relative Bedeutung der Zins- und Dividendenbezüge, der Emissions-, Kommissions- und Spekulationsgewinne für die Gesamtvolkswirtschaft. Es ist diese Tatsache meiner Meinung nach die wirtschaftliche Grundlage des imperialistischen Aufschwungs. Der Gläubiger hängt mit dem Schuldner dauernder zusammen als der Verkäufer mit dem Käufer» (122.)

until the end of the 19th century and monopolies return!!
(NB)
"He (Peel) thereby" (securing, stabilizing the gold standard) "elevated the Pound to the status of world money—a position it monopolized until the end of the 19th century" (159).
"To substantiate these arguments" (in favor of a customs union between the colonies and England) "reference is made to the damage caused by the imperialist customs policy to German exports to Canada. Canada, it is claimed, is the only country in the world where Germany's trade expansion has recently stagnated, in contrast to the powerful rise of British trade, as well as to the benefit of West Indian sugar producers" (p. 174).

23.„ "One can therefore fully agree with the imperialists in their appreciation of the colonial markets, but in relation to financial reformers, it must be noted that England has so far not needed preferential tariffs to dominate these colonial markets. The best that England can expect from such preferential tariffs is the restriction of the slowly advancing foreign competition."
