Political Economy Of Art

The Political Economy of Art is a book written by John Ruskin that explores the relationship between art and economics. Ruskin argues that art is not just a luxury item for the wealthy, but rather an essential component of a healthy society. He believes that art has the potential to bring people together and create a sense of community, and that it should be accessible to all, regardless of their social status or income.Ruskin also discusses the role of the artist in society, arguing that they should be seen as important contributors to the economy, rather than just creators of beautiful objects. He believes that artists should be given the support they need to thrive, including access to education and funding, as well as protection from exploitation.Throughout the book, Ruskin draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his arguments, and he provides practical suggestions for how art can be integrated into economic systems in a meaningful way. The Political Economy of Art is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
