Unto this Last

"Unto This Last" by John Ruskin challenges conventional economic thought by emphasizing the moral and social responsibilities behind economic activity. Through four compelling essays, Ruskin advocates for valuing human well-being and ethical labor over mere profitability, criticizing industrialization's dehumanizing effects. He argues that true wealth lies in the integrity and dignity of work, urging society to prioritize fairness, craftsmanship, and community over greed and materialism. This thought-provoking work calls for a reimagining of economic principles rooted in justice and compassion, inspiring a shift toward more humane and sustainable economic practices. Unto this Last - Four Essays on the First Principles of Political Economy is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1888.
