Problems of a New World (Routledge Revivals)

Informationen zum Autor J.A. Hobson Klappentext First published in 1921, Problems of a New World deals with the economic and political issues that arose from the First World War. The first three parts of the study consider the world before the war, and the interests, purposes and ideals which influenced the national psyche during the years which followed.
