Book Description
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. Ruskin's insights remain relevant and insightful today. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Political Economy of Art: Being the Substance (With Additions) Of Two Lectures Delivered at Manchester, July 10th and 13th, 1857 The greater part of the following treatise remains in the exac form in which it was read at Manchester; but the more familiar passages of it, which were trusted to extempore delivery, have been since written with greater explicitness and fulness than I could give them in speaking; and a considerable number of notes are added, to explain the points which could not be sufficiently considered in the time I had at my disposal in the lecture-room. Some apology may be thought due to the reader, for an endeavour to engage his attention on a subject of which no profound study seems compatible with the work in which I am usually employed. But profound study is not, in this case, necessary either to writer or reader, while accurate study, up to a certain point, is necessary for us all. Political economy means, in plain English, nothing more than "citizens' economy;" and its first principles ought, therefore, to be understood by all who mean to take the responsibility of citizens, as those of household economy by all who take the responsibility of householders.

Excerpt from The Political Economy of Art: Being the Substance of Two Lectures Delivered at Manchester, July 10th and 13th, 1857 I might, with more appearance of justice, be blamed for it necessary to eu force what everybody is supposed to know. But this fault will hardly be found with me, while the commercial events recorded daily in our journals, and still more the explanations attempted to be given of them, show that a large number of our so-called merchants are as ignorant of the nature Of money as they are reckless, unjust, and unfortunate in its employment.
