‘J.A. Hobson was an influential New Liberal whose writings on international relations go far beyond a much criticised theory of imperialism. With an elegantly constructed introduction that is simultaneously a tribute and an analysis, this collection of previously unpublished and hard to find papers is an invaluable aid to understanding Hobson's modern outlook, highlighting heretofore under-appreciated internationalist themes.’ - David Long, Professor, Carleton University, Canada ‘This collection of some of J. A. Hobson's later writings makes accessible to scholars much new and exciting material. It confirms my belief that Hobson is one of the most important social and economic minds produced by twentieth-century Britain, and shows how he kept thinking well into old age.’ - Peter Cain, Professor, Sheffield Hallam University ‘This volume attests to the continuing vibrancy and versatility of the 1930s internationalist writings of J.A. Hobson, one of the most important 20th century liberal thinkers. Its elegant and inventive introductory essay, mirroring one of Hobson’s own works, combines a serious analysis of Hobson’s views with a delightful display of playful prose.’ - Michael Freeden, Professor of Politics, University of Oxford
