Résumé
In "Unto This Last, and Other Essays on Political Economy, " John Ruskin delivers a profound critique of contemporary economic thought, intertwining ethical considerations with social justice. Through keen, accessible prose, Ruskin challenges the prevailing utilitarianism of his time, advocating for a moral economy rooted in the welfare of the working class. His essays draw upon historical and philosophical contexts, illustrating how industrialization and capitalism distort human values and societal bonds, ultimately calling for a re-examination of wealth's true purpose.
John Ruskin (1819-1900), a prominent art critic, social thinker, and advocate for the arts, was profoundly influenced by the socio-economic disparities of Victorian England. His engagement with the moral implications of industrialization and his extensive writings on beauty and labor propelled him to explore the intersection of art and economics. "Unto This Last, " inspired by Ruskin's understanding of moral philosophy, critiques materialism and champions the dignity of labor, reflecting his belief in the interconnectedness of social integrity and economic practice.
This book is indispensable for readers seeking to understand the ethical dimensions of economic theory. Ruskin's insights remain remarkably relevant today, encouraging a transformative dialogue on capitalism and individual worth. Students of economics, sociology, and philosophy will find his work both challenging and inspiring, providing a necessary lens through which to view modern economic dilemmas.
