About this title

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
