broadly defined as the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former colonies.
The practice of widespread crude, cruel, brute force that marked direct colonialism may not exist in the same exact form as it once did—but the outcome is still the same: mass extraction and exploitation from the Global South which has resulted in a staggering net transfer of resources, wealth, and labor to the Global North.
