Description

Explore a foundational work in the history of sociology with this Routledge Revival edition of The Material Culture and Social Institutions of the Simpler Peoples. Originally published in 1915, this pioneer study offers a deep look into the statistical correlation between economic and social institutions among the working classes of the early twentieth century. This text serves as a vital link between classical social liberalism and contemporary sociology. By studying the work of L. T. Hobhouse, readers can better understand the development of social problems and the evolution of social theory. This reissue is particularly valuable for students and scholars of anthropology and sociology who require access to primary historical perspectives on social development. To provide additional context, this edition includes the introduction written by Morris Ginsberg for the 1965 reprint. In this section, Ginsberg explains the goals and objectives of his work and his colleagues, making this a comprehensive resource for those studying the roots of modern social science.
