“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Only someone thoroughly opiated by the Progressive religion could fail to distinguish between Western capitalism (the subject of Professor Ferguson's book) and imperialism (the subject of other books by the same author but not the one to which you refer).
I find Ferguson fascinating but scary. He is obviously highly intelligent and I can't resist reading his stuff. But somehow he is just so wrong.
