In this review, I examine existing literature on the nature of the relationship between colonial legacies and economic development. What the literature collectively points out is that colonialism did bring some benefits in terms of technology, peace and an access to and implantation of modern institutions.

Do you have money? Good. Do you have lots of it, too? Good. You’ll need it if you’re looking to succeed in a society like the one the United States has built for itself.
