Imperialism

Klappentext Published in 1902, this critique of imperial policy and economics was written by influential early socialist thinker J. A. Hobson. Zusammenfassung J. A. Hobson (1858–1940) was an English economist and early social theorist. In Imperialism, published in 1902, he argues that imperial expansion was caused by the need to find new markets for the output of the Industrial Revolution, resulting in capitalistic exploitation of the colonies, and leading to international conflict.
