John Atkinson Hobson  

Definition

  • John Atkinson Hobson (1858–1940) was a British political economist and theorist who sought to defend liberalism while attaching a social element to it. His move to London in 1887 and his exposure to the plight of the urban industrial poor awakened his interest in the problems of unemployment and poverty as endemic to capitalism.
