The Intelligent Woman's Guide : To Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism And Fascism
Paperback Edition: 1/2014
As a lifelong socialist, Shaw believed that economic inequality was a poison destroying every aspect of human life, perverting family affections and the relations between the sexes.
According to him, all British institutions were "corrupted at the root by pecuniary interest" - and idealism, integrity and any piecemeal attempts at political reform were futile in the face of the gross injustice built into the Empires economic system.
Begun in 1924 - the year of the British Labour Partys first period of office under Ramsay MacDonald (who hailed it as the worlds most important book since the Bible) - and first published in 1928, The Intelligent Womans Guide draws on Shaws decades of activism and remains a brilliant, thoughtprovoking classic of political propaganda.
