John Atkinson Hobson (1858 â 1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his work on imperialismâwhich notably had an influence on Vladimir Leninâas 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. In his 1891 work âProblems of Povertyâ, Hobson explores the subject of poverty and the industrial condition of the poor, looking at such factors as the introduction of machinery, women workers, moral considerations, law, and much more. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the history of European industrial development, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Hobson's seminal work. Contents include: âThe Measure of Povertyâ, âThe Effects of Machinery on the Condition of the Working Classâ, âThe Influx of Population into Large Townsâ, â'The Sweating System'â, âThe Causes of Sweatingâ, âRemedies for Sweatingâ, âOver-supply of Low-skilled Labourâ, âThe Industrial Condition of Women-workersâ, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition together with an excerpt from âImperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalismâ by V. I. Lenin. |
