Morals of Economic Internationalism
In his book, Morals of Economic Internationalism, J.A. Hobson examines the moral implications of economic internationalism. He argues that economic internationalism, which is the idea of free trade and open markets, has both positive and negative effects on society. He argues that while it can bring economic growth and prosperity, it can also lead to exploitation and inequality. He also examines the ethical implications of economic internationalism, arguing that it can lead to a lack of respect for human rights and a disregard for the environment. He concludes by offering a set of moral principles that should guide economic internationalism in order to ensure that it is beneficial to all.

First lines
It ought not to be the case that there is one standard of morality for individuals in their relations with one another, a different and a slighter standard for corporations, and a third and still slighter standard for nations.
For, after all, what are corporations but groupings of individuals for ends which in the last resort are personal ends? And what are nations but wider, closer, and more lasting unions of persons for the attainment of the end they have in common, i.e., the commonwealth.
