Explanation

John Ruskin's 'Unto This Last' (1860) was a critique of classical economics that Gandhi read in South Africa; it profoundly influenced his economic philosophy, particularly the idea of 'bread labour'. While Emerson, Tolstoy, and Vivekananda also influenced Gandhi, none did so as deeply as Ruskin through this specific work.
