‘How Wealth Accumulates& Men Decay’ is a "short essay" by George Bernard Shaw from his book "The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism & Capitalism".
Explanation:
- Shaw illustrates the hugely damaging nature of capitalism n the mind of humans in the essay. Shaw begins the essay with a pin-maker example – their full knowledge about the manufacture, purchase and sale of the product door to door earlier times Shaw commends the experience and expertise of the pin-makers needed to market their items. Since its very start to consumers, this overall nature of the product's function was unique for the producers.
- But with the arrival of capitalism, workforce of as small as pin making was distributed amongst 18 men, all of whom did little work without understanding what the finished product's unique features are. While this method made society prosperous in its development, it turned "human beings into "mere machines" performing work without intellect."
- This accumulation of wealth with the aid of the capitalist market, which seems to be the catchphrase, has caused mankind to lose his expertise and understanding of the job they do. To Shaw, the industrial economy creates large-scale goods.
- Nevertheless, a '‘"universal ignorance" about how things are done is brought in and done’ for the humans. To men. Shaw ridicules the capitalist society, which enjoys a wider spectrum of knowledge and enlightenment for its incredible spread of ignorance.
