Work and Wealth: A Human Valuation. First edition, first impression. "Hobson's Work and Wealth: a Human Valuation (1914), followed by Wealth and Life: a Study in Values (1929), were the most mature expression of his social welfare theory. In those books he combined his organic view with an exposition of the art of the qualitative consumption of social and economic goods which had become a corner-stone of his thinking. The blending of ethics and economics continued his earlier Ruskinian line of argument, but his theories were always grounded in the collation of facts and empirical observation" (ODNB).
