Hobson demonstrates his prophetic talents by noting, just as the Victorian age was ending and World War I was brewing, that Imperialism has been adopted as a more or less conscious policy by several European States and threatens to break down the political isolation of the United States. Though the book speaks mostly of British imperialism of the period, Hobson inevitably explores the general principals-and hidden motives-of imperialist policy. Hobson covers: . the commercial value of imperialism . imperialism as an outlet for population . economic parasites of imperialism . imperialist finance . moral and sentimental factors . and much more. With imperialism again a hot topic in the political arena, Hobson's treatise continues to lend invaluable, necessary insight into a complex ideology. British writer JOHN ATKINSON HOBSON (1858-1940) was an historian and economist as well as a popular lecturer on the topics. His other books include The Evolution of Modern Capitalism (1894), The Economics of Distribution (1900), The Economics of Unemployment (1922), and the autobiographical Confessions of an Economic Heretic (1938).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50143900598545,"sku":"GOR008035451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393719439633,"sku":"CIN1596052503A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038278123793,"sku":"NIN9781596052505","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51328847479057,"sku":"CIN1596052503G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1596052503.jpg?v=1751309991"},{"product_id":"physiology-of-industry-routledge-revivals-book-j-hobson-9780415825436","title":"The Physiology of Industry (Routledge Revivals)","description":"The Physiology of Industry is a remarkable work which set out to challenge contemporary theory surrounding the economics of labour, supply and demand. First published in 1889, Hobson's first book outlines some of the key areas of his theory of underconsumption. The precise contribution of Mummery, who died in a mountaineering accident in 1895, is unclear, although Hobson did state that it was heated debates with the businessman that gave him faith in these theories. The chapters analyse the nature of production, the relationship between wealth and consumption, the influence of the supply of gold on the economy and the law of supply and demand. This is an interesting work which marked a shift in economic thought, and will be of value to researchers and student of industrial theory and modern economic history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52131959636241,"sku":"NLS9780415825436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415825436.jpg?v=1757513907"},{"product_id":"writings-on-imperialism-and-internationalism-routledge-revivals-book-j-hobson-9780415825429","title":"Writings on Imperialism and Internationalism (Routledge Revivals)","description":"J.

Within it, Hobson analyses financial distribution during the early years of Twentieth Century Britain, exploring the important moral questions related to the necessary economic reforms of the period. Hobson argues that under-consumption, over-production, and unemployment are the result of unfair distribution of wealth, and that a responsible economic government founded upon justice and humanity needs to be established. Contents include: The Lack of Economic Government, The Making of Incomes, Forced Labour and 'The Right to Work', Claims Upon Surplus Income, Personal and Communal, International Economic Government, and A Moral Reformation. John Atkinson Hobson (1858 - 1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his work on imperialism--which notably had an influence on Vladimir Lenin--as well as his theory of underconsumption. His early work also questioned the classical theory of rent and predicted the Neoclassical marginal productivity theory of distribution.
