The Psychology Of Jingoism (1901)

The Psychology of Jingoism is a book written by John Atkinson Hobson in 1901. The book explores the psychological roots and effects of jingoism, which is defined as an extreme form of nationalism characterized by aggressive foreign policy and a readiness to go to war. Hobson argues that jingoism is a product of certain psychological tendencies that are present in human nature, such as the desire for power and the fear of being dominated by others. He also examines the role of propaganda and the media in promoting jingoistic attitudes and behaviors. The book is a critical analysis of the dangers of jingoism and its impact on individuals and societies. It remains a relevant work today, as the issues it addresses are still relevant in contemporary politics and international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
