The Morals of Economic Internationalism

First published in 1920, this fascinating treatise by renowned English economist John Atkinson Hobson looks at the subject of internationalism, exploring the moral factors and issues related to it as well as the ramifications of international cooperation in the light of the cessation of the First World War. This detailed treatise will appeal to those with an interest in world politics and economics, especially that of Europe and the aftermath of The Great War. 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.
