THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA: ITS CAUSES AND EFFECTS - Hobson

1900 first edition hardcover with 324 pages. Good antiquarian condition. Anglo-Boer War, Anglo-Boereoorlog. Some rebinding on spine.

"As a correspondent, Hobson covers part of the Second Boer war, and his condemnation of the conflict is very strong. It is this conflict, and the political situation that immediately precedes it, that is the focus of the present work, in which he, for the first time, demonstrates how international conflict and imperialism are directly connected. The ideas initially presented in the present work are elaborated further in what must be considered his main work, "Imperialism" from 1902. It is Hobson's theories on imperialism that have gained him the great international reputation that he carries to this day, and it is these theories that have influenced thinkers such as Trotsky, Lenin, etc."
