There is no such thing as the "the Marxist Theory of Imperialism." One 
could speak of the various conceptions of imperialism held by various 
Marxists, but those theories differ sharply. Havey and Wood disagree on 
_what_ capitalism is, and hence have sharp differences of opinion on 
current "imperialism." In fact, many Marxists even doubt that 
"imperialism" is a currently useful analytic category. Certainly the 
theory of imperialism implicit in the writins of DRR, for example, are 
clearly false, since they imply that the alleged "decine" of U.S. power 
represents a decline of "imperial" power -- which is absurd. Any account 
assuming "the" Marxist theory exists is therefore an illusory account.
