Unto This Last and Other Essays on Political Economy

John Ruskin

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "Unto This Last, and Other Essays on Political Economy," John Ruskin challenges conventional economic theories of the 19th century by interweaving moral philosophy with socio-economic critique. Ruskin adopts a highly eloquent and accessible literary style, blending rhetorical flourishes with poignant observations on wealth, labor, and the moral responsibilities of society. His essays stand as a counterpoint to utilitarian economic practices, presenting a vision where economic principles align with ethical imperatives, thus situating his work within the broader context of the Industrial Revolution and its social repercussions. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent critic, social thinker, and art theorist whose multifaceted engagement with literature and visual arts profoundly influenced his economic writings. His upbringing amidst the natural beauty of the Lake District and his profound appreciation for craftsmanship inform his arguments against the dehumanization of labor, presenting a philosophy that champions the dignity of work and community welfare. The intellectual milieu of Victorian Britain, characterized by rapid industrialization, undoubtedly shaped his perspectives as he sought to reestablish moral values within economics. This compelling collection is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of economics, ethics, and society. Ruskin's insights resonate with contemporary debates on capitalism and social justice, making it a crucial text for scholars and general readers alike. By engaging with Ruskin's thought, readers are invited to reconsider the very foundations of economic systems in light of human dignity and communal health.

Reflections on Quality in 10 1 2...

Willy Vandenbrande

Commenting on a webinar I gave, a lady mentioned that my voice resembled Sean Connery's, the ultimate James Bond. Looking at her Linkedln profile I noticed she was in the editing business. I thanked her for the compliment and asked if she had any tips on how to get a book published. Her reaction was simple and straightforward: "There are already too many books." Nevertheless, I pursued my efforts and wrote yet another book on quality management. 
A different book though, touching on various aspects of quality through storytelling and anecdotes. A book that looks beyond generally accepted rules and truths, offering a thought-provoking view on quality, management and even society at large. Readers may agree, disagree, get mad or be amused, but hopefully not indifferent. After all, quality is a feeling. 
When turning it into an audio book it was clear that, with a voice resembling that of Sean Connery, I had to narrate it myself. I hope the listener will enjoy it as much as readers have done, all over the world. 
This book is also available as e-book (ISBN 978-1-907925-71-9), Paperback (ISBN 978-1-907925-72-6) and Hard Cover (ISBN 978-1-907925-73-3) on Amazon and other book stores.
