A Joy For Ever (and Its Price in the Market)
John Ruskin
Manchester threw a great art exhibition in 1857 and invited John Ruskin to celebrate; he lectured them on economics instead. These talks on the discovery, application, accumulation, and distribution of art argue that a nation's treasures need wise spending, patient training, and public care. Political economy with a painter's eye. Ask what beauty costs, and who pays.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
