More about the book

The ideological clash between a father and daughter drives the narrative, with Andrew Undershaft, a wealthy arms manufacturer, advocating for the benefits of wealth, while his daughter Barbara, a Salvation Army Major, condemns his money as morally corrupt. Shaw critiques poverty, charity, and the romantic notions surrounding the poor, arguing that societal failure to address poverty is a grave injustice. The play is infused with Shaw's signature witty dialogue, making it both entertaining and intellectually stimulating.
