Focusing on the impact of industrialization, Hobson examines the root causes of poverty and proposes potential solutions. He discusses various topics such as the effects of machinery on workers, urban population influx, and the challenges faced by low-skilled laborers, including women. His analysis also delves into the moral implications of poverty and advocates for socialistic legislation as a remedy. Through his work, Hobson seeks to illuminate the complexities of economic conditions and the plight of the working class during the late 19th century.
