Synopsis

John Ruskin, the author of "For the Last", uses sharp writing in this book to tear apart the hypocrisy of the basic principles of political economy during the heyday of the capitalist free market in Britain in the 19th century, making its evil nature obvious to the world. The book criticizes the market economics of the British Industrial Revolution and paints a moral blueprint that contrasts sharply with it, discusses how businesses and society should operate, and advocates social reform.

Reader comments

This book is very inspiring! In the book, Ruskin fiercely attacked the market economics of the British Industrial Revolution, which reminded me of Dickens's "Hard Times." He also paints a moral blueprint that reminds me of Tolstoy's work. The characters in the book have distinct personalities and representative experiences, which gave me a deeper understanding of that era. This is not only an economics book, but also a reflection on society and human nature. Recommended to friends who are interested in social reform and history.
