[Modern Colonies and the World Capitalist System]

[Colonies as Peripheries]
From an economic point of view, modern colonies are the periphery that was subordinately subsumed into the world capitalist world-system that began to take shape after the end of the 15th century, and their subordinate character remains as a structural feature of the social economy of the periphery even after political independence. The world capitalist system from the so-called "geographical discoveries" to the Industrial Revolution was a transitional, uneven, and complex system in which the capitalist mode of production had already begun to emerge in Europe, its "center," while the periphery of the globally expanding commercial network saw the production of commodities under unfree labor. In the European economy during this period, industrial activity was relatively underdeveloped and was largely subordinate to commercial capital, so this nascent capitalism is also called commercial capitalism.
