Selected Writings of John A. Hobson 1932-1938: The Struggle for the International Mind by John M Hobson

John A. Hobson is widely recognised as the most important British New Liberal thinker of politics and political economy of the twentieth century. The Selected Writings of John A. Hobson showcases an exciting and previously unpublished collection of Hobson's writings and lectures from 1932-1938 that Hobson presented at the South Place Ethical Society in the last decade of his life.

The lectures and the introduction produce a fresh reading of Hobsons thinking and theorization of International Relations, thereby revealing a much more complex thinker than has conventionally been understood. Edited by Colin Tyler, a framing introduction written by the authors great grandson, John M. Hobson situates these lectures in the context of his life-work on International Relations between 1897 and 1940.

Selected Writings of John A. Hobson 1932-1938 is an essential read for all Hobson scholars and students and scholars of globalization and political economy.

Selected Writings of John A. Hobson 1932-1938 Reviews

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an elegantly constructed introduction that is simultaneously a tribute and an analysis, this collection of previously unpublished and hard to find papers is an invaluable aid to understanding Hobson's modern outlook, highlighting heretofore under-appreciated internationalist themes.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 Hobsons own works, combines a serious analysis of Hobsons views with a delightful display of playful prose. - Michael Freeden, Professor of Politics, University of Oxford
