"1920 - Dips Into The Near Future" is a 1917 work by English economist John Atkinson Hobson. It contains a number of satirical writings that predict what life and the world will be life in 1920, just three years after the first publication of this book. In these short satirical pieces, Hobson attempts to point out some of the hypocrisies of the 'Never-Endian' attitude which betrayed "every cause of liberty at home in a war of liberty" and claimed to "end a war by refusing every opportunity of making peace". Contents include: "The Aged Service Act", "Reprisals", "The Laboratory of War-truth", "D.O.R.A.", "The Military Service (Females) Act", "War-bondage", "War Aims", and "The New Jerusalem". 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. 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 together with a specially-commissioned new introduction on World War I.
