Description

"A Modern Out Look - Studies of English and American Tendencies" is a 1910 collection of essays by 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: "The Lost Art of Conversation", "Co-partnership in Nature", "The Population Question Among Books", the Compensations of Stupidity", "A Go-as-you-please Philosophy", "A Plea for Controversy", "A Puritan Document", "The Grip of the Specialist", 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 "Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism" by V. I. Lenin.
