Synopsis

"Democracy after the War" is a 1917 treatise by English social scientist and economist John Atkinson Hobson. Within it, Hobson explores the idea of democracy in the light of the First World War by looking at it's main obstacles and how true democracy might be realized in the future. 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 Enemies of Democracy" and "The Defence of Democracy". 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. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on World War I.
