Overview
The New Protectionism is a 196 treatise by English economist John Atkinson Hobson that explores British economic Protectionism following World War I and outlines its requirements in the light of an increasingly powerful and aggressive Germany. 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 Revival of Protectionism", "Defence and Opulence", "The Tangles of a Tariff", "Protection No Defence", "Navigation Laws", "How to Meet Trade Aggression", "The Case of Agriculture", "Free Trade as a Policy", and "The Open Door". 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. 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
