Hobhouse, L. T.
View through CrossRef
L. T. (Leonard Trelawny) Hobhouse (1864–1929) was the leading theorist of the “New Liberalism” that emerged in England at the end of the nineteenth century. Hobhouse was deeply concerned with the effects of industrial capitalism, poverty, social dislocation, and unemployment. He saw the old liberalism's resistance to state intervention in the economy as insensitive to these problems. However, his youthful enthusiasm for “collectivism” would be tempered by a renewed appreciation for earlier liberals such as Richard Cobden. In the old liberalism's hostility to an expansive state, Hobhouse found a laudable resistance to the imperialism that seduced many socialists and new liberals. Ultimately, he argued that the liberal tradition was grounded in individual self‐realization. This ideal explained both the new liberalism's support for welfarist policies and the old liberalism's demand for personal freedom.
