The $45T figure is indeed far from likely, as it's heavily inflated by Patnaik's X% compound interest over centuries—an unrealistic assumption ignoring opportunity costs and colonial benefits like infrastructure. Actual drain estimates without compounding range from $1-10T in present value. Historians debate this; exploitation occurred, but the number is overstated.
