Signed presentation from the author on a printed slip on the front endpaper with added hotel address hand-written, '[With Bernard Shaw's compliments] I have sent a copy to the Dean, G.B.S. [4 Whitehall Court, London S.W.1] The Malvern Hotel.' Social reform. Attractive dust jacket designed by Eric Kennington. Faint wear at spine ends, otherwise near fine in near fine dust jacket with very slight edgewear. No inscriptions, not price-clipped. First published in 1928 and addressed to the The Intelligent Woman (specifically his sister-in-law, Lady Mary Stewart Cholomondely), George Bernard Shaw's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism should be read by every American in the twenty-first century who has benefited, or ever will benefit, from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, disability, unemployment, food stamps, or any of the government's social insurance programs. The inequities of capitalism as an economic system are nothing new, and Shaw was one of the early champions of socialist reforms to protect the working class against the advantages capitalism gives those who control the means of production.
