Yarvin's main work on colonialism is the essay "From Cromer to Romer", I highly recommend it https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2009/08/from-cromer-to-romer-and-back-again/

He just gives descriptions of the prosperity of the Belgian Congo in 1955. Then again in the 1990s when the roads are collapsed, there is no electricity, all of the factories are gone, and the cities are reverting to jungle. "Decolonialization created the Third World."

It's not the most statistics driven argument. E.g. Alternative Hypothesis goes over GDP growth rates after decolonialion. And how there is a correlation between how colonized a country was and how rich it is today. https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/colonialism-did-not-make-africa-poor/
