Unto This Last, and Other Essays on Political Economy

About this book

In a transformative era marked by industrial expansion and social upheaval, "Unto This Last, and Other Essays on Political Economy" by John Ruskin presents a critical examination of the moral implications of economic practices. Ruskin boldly argues for the intrinsic value of labor and the necessity of ethical considerations in wealth distribution, challenging prevailing notions of profit and individualism. His essays advocate for a society where the welfare of the community supersedes mere economic gain, emphasizing the interconnectedness of art, nature, and human dignity. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this collection invites readers to reflect on the enduring relevance of Ruskin's insights in contemporary discussions about economic justice and societal well-being.
