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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide selection of Hobson's writings is made available for student and scholar alike.
