'Unto this Last: Four Essays on the First Principles of Political Economy' Summary
Unto This Last is a collection of four essays by John Ruskin, a prominent art critic and social critic of the Victorian era. The essays challenge conventional economic theories of the time, particularly the prevailing idea of laissez-faire capitalism. Ruskin argues that the value of labor should be determined by its contribution to human well-being, not simply by its market price. He emphasizes the ethical dimensions of economic activity and the importance of social responsibility in a just society. Ruskin's work resonated with thinkers who challenged the prevailing economic order and sought to promote social justice and a more humane approach to economics.Book Details
