I'm looking specifically for a historical text or comprehensive article that specifically connects the mass pilfering by European colonial powers to the development of capitalism and beginning of the industrial age in Europe, even in countries that (at least initially) didn't have overseas colonies like Germany/Prussia. I have a broad knowledge on this (particularly on how European markets interacted with each other) but I want to deepen it.
