It was written in the 20-s related to Engeland, but it is still actual and fresh for today.

Easy to read and most educational.

This review is from: The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism (Hardcover)

This book, published in 1927, is the solution to rising college tuition fees. For a complete liberal arts education, look no further than this 500 page treatise in economics, political science, history, sociology, ethics; in short all of what constitutes a basic college education. It is all delivered to you with engaging Shavian wit and makes your college experience brief, economical, and utterly painless. For your diploma you can simply print out and post your Amazon review of this awesome work on the www for all to see and then mail out copies of your resume with the absolute confidence that you'll ace every job interview with erudition and grace. Your problem will only be which offers to turn down. Shaw himself purportedly spent 5 years in an effort to analyze the society we live in, what has kept it moving along, and how to live within it to our advantage and even change it for the better. It is an astonishing, timeless literary achievement, quite accessible to intelligent gentlemen as well as to the intelligent ladies to whom it is affectionately addressed. High school grads! Forget about years of loan payments, midnight oil, and eight-o'clocks. Just read this book, and apply for those jobs miles ahead of your plodding and soon-to-be impoverished peers.
