Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of economics, morality, and social justice, John Ruskin's essays critique capitalism and its impact on society and the environment. He argues for a moral foundation in economic practices, advocating for living wages for workers and highlighting the detrimental effects of industrialization on nature. Initially controversial, these essays have influenced modern social movements, including Mahatma Gandhi's ideologies. Ruskin's insights remain relevant, offering a profound exploration of the ethical dimensions of economic systems.
