First published in 1910, this seminal work by J. A. Hobson explores the economic policies and practices of the early 20th century, with a focus on the rise of protectionist trade policies. Hobson argues that such policies are harmful to both countries involved and advocates for free trade and international cooperation. This book remains relevant today as debates over trade continue to shape global politics and economics.
