[Problems of Poverty by John A. Hobson]@TWC D-Link book
Problems of Poverty

CHAPTER XI
46/72

A large quantity of valuable material exists in _The Report of the Industrial Remuneration Conference_, and in the _Reports of the Lords' Committee on the Sweating System_ and of the _Labour Commission_.

Among shorter and more accessible works dealing with the industrial causes of poverty and the application of industrial remedies, Toynbee's _Industrial Revolution_ (Rivington); Gibbins' _Industrial History of England (University Extension Series_, Methuen & Co.); and Jevons'_The State in Relation to Labour (English Citizen Series)_, will be found most useful.

For a clear understanding of the relation of economic theory to the facts of labour and poverty, J.E.

Symes' _Political Economy_ (Rivington), and Marshall's _Economies of Industry_are specially recommended.
Among the large mass of books and pamphlets bearing on special subjects connected with _Problems of Poverty_, the following are most useful.

An asterisk is placed against the names of those which deserve special attention, and which are easily accessible.
