First published in 1902, Hobson's seminal work was among the first to make the link between political economy and the imperialist expansionism of the advanced capitalist nations at the turn of the 20th Century. A devestating moral critique of the murderous cynicism of imperialism, Hobson's book paved the way for the influential Marxist theories of imperialism advanced by Lenin and Bukhairn and others. It provides an invaluable framework for understanding militarism and war in the 21st Century.
