John Ruskin - Social Reformer' is John Atkinson Hobson’s 1898 biography of leading English art critic and social thinker of the Victorian era, John Ruskin. John Atkinson Hobson (1858 – 1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his work on imperialism—which notably had an influence on Vladimir Lenin—as 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. Contents include: “Formative Influences of Early Life”, “From Art to School Reform”, “The Indictment of Current Political Economy”, “Mr Ruskin’s Theory of Social Economics”, “Flaws in the Science and Practice of Modern Industry”, “The Competitive System”, “The True Social Order”, etc. 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 complete with Professor Charles Waldstein’s essay, “John Ruskin”.
