Originally published in "Cornhill" magazine, "Unto This Last" is a series of four essays on the politics of economics. Considered by Ruskin as one of his most important works, "Unto This Last" argues that economics, art and science must have a foundation in morality. Ruskin, who cannot be strictly labeled as a liberal or conservative in his political ideology, crafts a thought-provoking exposition of prevailing economic theories that is as relevant today as when first written.

Review:

No wonder that in the wake of the financial crisis of 2007-09, Unto This Last, Ruskin's savage attack on the complacency and sterility of market economics, seems overdue for rehabilitation... Economic, business and financial priorities need rebalancing. Ruskin's Unto This Last ought to be one of the counterweights. --Andrew Hill, The Financial Times
