<p>The Intelligent Woman¿s Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism, and Fascism<br><br>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.<br><br>Begun in 1924 ¿ the year of the British Labour 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, The Intelligent Woman¿s Guide draws on Shaw¿s decades of activism and remains a brilliant, thoughtprovoking classic of political propaganda.</p>
