The Suicidal Nature of Monopoly Capitalism A logical consequence to the concentration of capital in the hands of an oligarchy is an apparently unacknowledged destruction of the economy. In the imperialist nations (USA, Canada, Germany, Japan) a whole leferature has sprung up in support of what is proudly called the "big business."

Between December 1929 and December 1932, for example, Germany experienced a 30.% percent stock market decline, France 38.5 percent and Canada 37.5% (Kindleberger, 1973).
