"The Morals of Economic Internationalism" by J. A. Hobson is a critical treatise exploring the ethical dimensions of international economic relations, written in the early 20th century. This work is positioned within the scholarly discourse surrounding the moral obligations that nations owe to one another in the context of globalization and economic interdependence. Hobson engages with the implications of economic activities conducted on an international scale and critiques the existing standards of morality that are applied to individuals, corporations, and nations. In this book, Hobson argues that current international morality is vastly inferior to that expected of individuals, leading to harmful inequities and misunderstandings in global trade dynamics. He discusses various fallacies that underpin nationalist economic policies, such as the assumption of fixed market shares and the misguided view that exporting is inherently more valuable than importing. Through a thorough examination of these concepts, Hobson asserts the necessity of fostering a cooperative international economic framework, contending that only through mutual economic support can nations address pressing global crises, particularly after the devastation of the war. He emphasizes that genuine economic relationships entail moral obligations, urging a shift from self-serving nationalism to an inclusive economic internationalism that benefits all nations, particularly the weaker ones in dire straits.
