I am not trying to upstage you. Strange that you would see my exception in that light.
can't put together your idea that without a MIC there would be no spoils, except that every person or government depends on armed force (we can call them police, militia or army, to secure our possessions.

As regards wealth how do we define wealth? Dollars, Special Drawing Rights, Euro's, Peso's, land, things? I define wealth as that which makes one happy.
I consider myself very wealthy indeed, though my physical condition could use a little help, but altogether at my age, not too bad.
But, forgive me, I do feel talk of the MIC and imperialism are so yesterday
Imperialism in the sense of nation states, creating an empire.
We too are so past that in today.
Power too today is the ability to command resources, and that ability relies on ones ability to command a medium of exchange and how it is utilized and distributed.
There is a no post MIC, imperialism as it were, independent of an armed force, except as a tool to be wielded to secure power.
The new imperialism, is personal, trans national, trans ideological, trans everything.
The thing is that the new imperialist will eventually come into conflict with each other, and then they will deploy their resources, their MIC, in their service.
In the digital age of communications the MIC is simply a tool, and it looks to me like the winner is going to be China, because it is hungry,not fat, full and satisfied like "Silicon valley"
Silicon valley squashes competition and incentives, China fosters both.
While Musk rapes our country in his insane ques to be the Elon of Mars, China will be trying to harvest nodules on the moon.
