Unto This Last and Other Essays on Political Economy

John Ruskin

Sinopse

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.

Stop Selling and Start Leading -...

James M. Kouzes, Barry Z....

In the Age of the Customer, sales effectiveness depends mightily on the buyer experience. Despite nearly universal agreement on the need for creating value in every step of the buyer's journey, sellers continue to struggle with how to create that value and connect meaningfully with buyers.

● Change your behavior to build trust and increase sales

A Great Place to Work For All -...

Anônimo

From Great Place to Work, which produces the popular FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For ranking, comes a new definition of what it takes to make an organization great FOR ALL--for the business, for people and for the world.

For 20 years Great Place to Work has published their gold-standard list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For. But their latest research shows that what was good enough to be a "great" workplace 10 or 20 years ago is not good enough now. Even at the best workplaces, leaders can--and must--do better. CEO Michael C. Bush and his team connect the dots to show how the emerging economy is about developing every ounce of human potential. Today's business climate is defined by speed, social technologies and people expecting "values" besides value. As a result, leaders have to create an outstanding culture for everyone, no matter who they are or what they do for the organization. They have to build a Great Place to Work For All.

The authors share new research on how Great Places to Work For All outperform in the stock market and grow revenue 3x faster than less-inclusive rivals. Bush and his team tell surprising, inspiring stories about how closing gaps in the work experience between groups of employees pays off for everyone. They document the ways Great Places to Work For All benefit the individuals working there and contribute to a better global society. And they introduce a new leadership framework, showing the advantages of what the authors define as Level 5 "For All" leaders. In effect, the times demand executives who not only are business-savvy but also are devoted to fairness, have deep faith in people, and empower all individuals to reach their full human potential. This is a call to lead so that organizations bring out the best in everyone.
