Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism by Ya Boi Lenin

It's good, but I have difficulty understanding why Lenin is talking about numbers for German/French banks. Granted I'm only 30 pages in and will continue, just a bit confused so far.

The idea is to show the exponential rise in capital dominated by the banks, the creation of finance capital.

I am also currently reading it. Its very economic, thus it can be a bit difficult at first, so take your time taking it all in.
