This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an essay on 'The Economic Philosophy of J. A. Hobson' by Indian writer and political scientist Ratish Mohan Agrawala. John Atkinson Hobson (1858-1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his writing on imperialism-which notably influenced 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. Other notable works by this author include: "Roads To Freedom And Slavery", "The Hindu-Muslim Riots Their Causes And Cures", and "The Economic Philosophies".
