First published in 1988. This anthology from the major writings of
J. A. Hobson helps to establish his reputation as one of the most
influential social, economic and political theorists of late
nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain. The wide range of
his writings makes him essential reading for historians,
economists, political theorists, students of imperialism and of
international relations. In a general introduction Michael Freeden
analyses the key organizing concepts of Hobson's work, identifying
the main areas of impact and controversy, and he suggests a
framework of interpretation that demonstrates Hobson's innovatory
radicalism. He emphasizes Hobson's humanist, qualitative
understanding of economics, his significant contributions to the
transformation of liberal theory, his trenchant critique of
imperialism and his 'heretical' theory of underconsumption. Hobson
is placed in the intellectual context of his times and shown to be
an important member of groups that helped to formulate the ideology
of the modem welfare state. A wide selection of Hobson's writings
is made available for student and scholar alike. Grouped
thematically, extracts include pieces from major works such as The
Problem of the Unemployed, Imperialism: A Study, The Crisis of
Liberalism and The Industrial System and span a period from 1896 to
1938.
