Interesting and (I guess intentionally) provocative segment on empire! I don't know if I'd go so far, but you're addressing an idea that's been rattling around my brain a while. As a descendent of the former British West Indies I hear a lot about those islands' struggles since independence. But as someone who lives in France I hear just as much about unrest and dissatisfaction in the French Caribbean. All the indicators I've found suggests living standards ought to much better in the latter, but I'd be keen for a proper comparative analysis.
