Synopsis
John Ruskin's 'Unto This Last' is a powerful critique of 18th and 19th-century capitalist economics. Originally met with controversy upon its magazine publication in 1860, Ruskin later compiled these influential essays into a book in 1862. This work profoundly impacted Mahatma Gandhi, shaping his social and economic philosophy and inspiring him to adopt Ruskin's teachings in his own life.
