First published in 1902, âThe Evolution Of Modern Capitalismâ looks at the effects that the industrial revolution had had on contemporary capitalism, focusing primarily on the introduction of machinery into production. Contents include: âThe Structure of Industry Before Machineryâ, âThe Order of Development of Machine Industryâ, âThe Structure of Modern Industryâ, âThe Formation of monopolies in Capitalâ, âEconomic Powers of the Trustâ, âMachinery and Industrial Depressionâ, etc. This fascinating volume will appeal to those with an interest in the history of modern capitalism and is not to be missed by collectors of Hobson's seminal work. John Atkinson Hobson (1858 â 1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his work on imperialismâwhich notably had an influence on Vladimir Leninâas 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. Other notable works by this author include: âEvolution of Modern Capitalismâ (1894), âProblem of the Unemployedâ (1896), and âJohn Ruskin: Social Reformerâ (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 together with an excerpt from âImperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalismâ by V. I. Lenin.
