Bernard Shaw & Karl Marx, a Symposium

By Bernard Shaw

"Bernard Shaw & Karl Marx, a Symposium, 1884-1889" provides a compelling intellectual record of the intersection between two of the most influential thinkers of the late nineteenth century. This work captures the rigorous debate and evolving thought of George Bernard Shaw as he engaged with the revolutionary economic and social theories of Karl Marx during a formative period in British political history. The collection documents critical exchanges and essays that highlight the ideological tensions between the emerging Fabian socialist movement and orthodox Marxism.

Readers will find a deep exploration of value theory, capital, and the practical application of socialist principles within a democratic framework. As both a literary figure and a committed social critic, Shaw brings his characteristic wit and analytical precision to these discussions, offering unique insights into the intellectual landscape of the 1880s. This symposium serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of economic thought, the development of modern political ideologies, and the personal intellectual journey of one of the world's most renowned playwrights and polemicists.
