A thought-provoking classic of political propaganda exposing the excesses of capitalism—entertaining, lucid, and relevant to today's social movementsI also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.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 Empire's economic system. Begun in 1924—the year of the British Labor Party's first period of office under Ramsay MacDonald (who hailed it as "the world's most important book since the Bible")—and first published in 1928, this guide draws on Shaw's decades of activism.

I love this book. Before purchasing this book, I was, unfortunately, very ignorant of the other types of government in the world. Reading this, I was completely set straight on all of my disillusions. It's very articulately written and easy to comprehend. I'd recommend this to anyone.
Like all true art, Bernard Shaw's, The Intelligent Woman's Guide still rings true.His clean writing style is a pleasure to read.His constant admonishments to "think for yourself", are a breath of fresh air.
The most important book about humane life disregarding any formation, Capitalism or never existent Socialism.Soviet Union Emigrant.
