Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual for 1905
No one, we think, has ventured to question the nobility and height. Of Ruskin's ideals of Industry, Life, and Art, but these ideals are still regarded by many as either merely sentimental or utterly impracticable. Mr. Hobson's article on John Ruskin and Working-class Movements renders useful service in dissipating such misconceptions, and shows in a convincing way that Ruskin's famous phrase There is no wealth but life is the corner-stone of a rigorous and logical science of political economy. As co-operators, this article should prove of special interest, as our ostensible aims are in the direction of production for use and not for profit.
