Hobson's Choice: Why Hobson's Choice? Hobson furnishes Lenin with much of the framework for analysing imperialism; but whereas Hobson argues that imperialism is something that a mature capitalist state can and should reject, Lenin insists that capitalism leads ineluctably to imperialism. Hobson's attitudes towards imperialism and the evolution of capitalism fluctuated to a surprising degree; during the period following his magnum opus, Hobson began to moderate his views under the suspicion that he was being unduly harsh and one-sided in his judgement. This site is dedicated to J. A Hobson (1858-1940), a British economist and opponent of imperialism. www.jamesrmaclean.com /archives/000165.html

Hobson's Choice: Why Hobson's Choice? Hobson's attitudes towards imperialism and the evolution of capitalism fluctuated to a surprising degree; during the period following his magnum opus, Hobson began to moderate his views under the suspicion that he was being unduly harsh and one-sided in his judgement. Hobson's views on capitalism, neoliberal orthodoxy, and imperialism evolved over time; also, he was obligated to consider what was workable given the era in which he lived.

Amazon.com: Books: Imperialism (Ann Arbor Paperbacks) The fact that self-described socialists and lassez-faire dogmatics alike, in 1902, regarded "imperialism" as a means to their rival ends, shows that this was not merely a right-left debate, and Hobson attacks the idea of solving the problems of capitalist societies by making war on other nations. The effects of imperialism on the rest of the human race are spelled out with precision and clarity, as is his nuanced analysis of why it is doomed to fail.

The Old Cause by Joseph Stromberg he English liberal John A. Hobson wrote in 1902: "The economic taproot of Imperialism is the desire of strong organized industrial and financial interests to secure and develop at the public expense and by the public force private markets for their surplus goods and their surplus capital. Early liberals like Thomas Paine, Richard Cobden, and John Bright understood imperialism as a projection of state power, paid for by the citizenry, for the economic benefit of particular interest groups. In Imperialism &; The Highest Stage of Capitalism (1916), Lenin took up Hobson's argument, characteristically adding that "capitalism" must cause overproduction and underconsumption and that, pending the arrival of communist heaven, such problems would make "capitalist states" fight imperialist wars in a vain attempt at solving them. www.antiwar.com /stromberg/s100599.html   (2227 words)

imperialism - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about imperialism Imperialism was soon exposed to criticism from the left, in the British economist J A Hobson's Imperialism (1902), and from a Marxist perspective in Lenin's Imperialism as the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1917).

Today's Imperialism - Uniquely American But the theories of Hilferding, Hobson, and Lenin on imperialism do not accurately describe the actual character of US domination unless we selectively censor a lot of information - as certain sectors of the left have been wont to do. But as Michael Hudson exhaustively documents in Super Imperialism, the United States began in the First World War by exploiting this rivalry itself to gain advantage, and the predominant actor was not monopoly capital, but the US state. This became a new nodal point in US post-war imperialism, and it decisively ended the post-WWII upwave of domestic prosperity. www.fromthewilderness.com /free/ww3/102804_todays_imperialism.shtml   (2428 words)

Marxism message, Re: Social Imperialism [DMS] However, I made use of the principal English work on imperialism, the book by J. Hobson, with all the care that, in my opinion, that work deserves. I trust that this pamphlet will help the reader to under stand the fundamental economic question, viz., the question of the economic essence of imperialism, for unless this is studied, it will be impossible to understand and appraise modern war and modern politics. Again, you are taking the provincial view: you never even address any of the broader historical issues I raised about colonialism and imperialism historically; you don't even speak in terms of living standards, environment, consumption, or security, never mind historically, or outside the directly economic sphere. archives.econ.utah.edu /archives/marxism/2003w39/msg00138.htm   (548 words)

Imperialismus (2nd version, July 2001). Text written for HKWM by Jan Otto Andersson Whereas Hobson's model of imperialism was constructed as a combination of nationalism, interstate anarchy and dominance of financial capital, the world of the second wave of Marxist theories of imperialism was characterised by the opposites: internationalism, a hierarchical order of states, and multinational corporations. Imperialism was seen as the ideology and practice of the large monopolies and as an inevitable stage in the development of capitalism. It was, however, not Luxemburg's particular theory of imperialism, but her view of imperialism, as an international system of unequal interdependence, being essential for the successful operation of capitalism in the metropolis, that survived the Leninist view of imperialism. www.marx-seura.kaapeli.fi /archive/imperialism.htm   (531 words)

John A. Hobson Hobson's fame rests perhaps on his development of a theory of underconsumption (1889, with the businessman and mountaineer A.F. Mummery), which anticipated that of John Maynard Keynes and a theory of imperialism (1902) anticipating Vladimir Lenin. Hobson was nonetheless an accomplished author, journalist, historian, economist and critic of the materialist methodology of both Classical and Neoclassical economics, he is the closest thing to the American iconoclast Thorstein Veblen that the British Isles produced. Hobson's stock has since risen, not only for the afore-mentioned contributions, but also for his "evolutionist" outlook on economy and society (1894). cepa.newschool.edu /het/profiles/hobson.htm   (319 words)
