The article provides numbers, examples, and cites its sources. It was written in 2021 as well, so this is relatively modern economic data. Please read the article, if I wanted you to understand how imperialism functions I would have recommended reading Lenin himself, rather than an article using Lenin's understanding of imperialism as a base and elaborating on it with hard numbers.
