Description

"The German Panic" is a 1913 essay by English social scientist John Atkinson Hobson on the subject of Germany and its rise to being a leading power in Europe in the nineteenth century. 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 Rise of Germany to Predominance in Europe", "Introduction", and "The German Panic". This fascinating essay will appeal to those with an interest in European history and is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. 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. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an excerpt from "A Short History of the World" by H. G. Wells.
