First published in 1909, "The Crisis of Liberalism - New Issues of Democracy" is a fascinating treatise by English economist John Atkinson Hobson that explores the state of Liberalism in England at the beginning of the twentieth century as well as the various dangers and threats to it. Contents include: "Democracy", "Liberalism and Socialism", and "Applied Democracy". 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. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in Liberalism and English politics in general, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. 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 the original text and artwork.
