""A Joy For Ever: And Its Price In The Market"" is a book written by John Ruskin, a prominent Victorian-era writer, art critic, and social thinker. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between art, beauty, and economics. Ruskin argues that true art is not a commodity to be bought and sold in the market, but rather a source of joy and spiritual nourishment that should be accessible to all. He criticizes the industrialization of art and the prioritization of profit over quality, advocating for a return to traditional craftsmanship and a more ethical approach to art production. The book also delves into the philosophical and moral implications of the commodification of art, touching on themes such as the role of art in society, the nature of value, and the relationship between beauty and truth. Overall, ""A Joy For Ever"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of art, beauty, and the market.Being The Substance With Additions Of Two Lectures On The Political Economy Of Art, Delivered At Manchester, July 10th And 13th 1857.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
