Unscripted interview with Yale University professor of art history Tim Barringer on the subject of Victorian-era art critic John Ruskin and his writing, including on the Political Economy of Art.
"He saw the connection between the way we organize our society and the inherent unfairness of it, and the kind of art that gets produced."
Instrumental in providing the liberating spark to re-evaluate the question, what is wealth? Tim Barringer explains why we need Ruskin now.
