John Atkinson Hobson

Canada To-Day John Atkinson Hobson

First published in 1906 "Canada To-Day", this vintage book contains an essay by English social scientist and economist John Atkinson Hobson. 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. Contents Include: "Canada Booming", "Canada's Boom City", "A Canadian Imperialist", "The Pacific Slope", "Canadian Protection", "The Americanisation of Canada", "The French in Canada", "Colonial Preference", "British Slackness", "The Wheatfields", "Canada's Destiny", "Future of Canada", etc. Other notable works by this author include: "Evolution of Modern Capitalism" (1894), "Problem of the Unemployed" (1896), and "John Ruskin: Social Reformer" (1898). 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 complete with an excerpt from "By Canadian Streams" by Lawrence J. Burpee.
