The Political Economy of Art

In this thought-provoking and influential work, John Ruskin explores the relationship between art, culture, and political economy. Drawing on his wide-ranging knowledge of art history, aesthetics, and economics, he argues that the production and consumption of art are deeply intertwined with the broader social and economic forces of the modern world.
