"It takes the daughter of a multimillionaire to teach economy to a penniless professor." Not since Intolerance have we seen such an attack on reformers. Shaw's excoriation spreads ship-shot blood and fire. My favorite is the naming of the death-merchants the 'Undershafts' whose pater familias is as addled as Reaganomics. His religion is spelled: millionaire. Peter rejoins, "I wouldn't have your income for all your conscience."
Inequality of the sexes meanwhile is revealed as penetrating even to the level of lies women must whisper to the Salvation Army. Men pretend they prefer the peace that passeth all understanding to a piece of bread.
Would that Shaw always remembered that a band beats preaching every time. Is he preaching morality preaching amorality practicing morality, or is irony intended? Glory ever was a hoar. "We are all members one of another."
