Socialismo, Sociedade Fabiana, George Bernard Shaw, Philip Wicksteed, Teoria do valorResumo
George Bernard Shaw foi um importante teatrólogo irlandês do final do século XIX. Além de sua produção literária, que lhe rendeu o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura em 1925, Bernard foi também um importante militante socialista, ligado à Sociedade Fabiana. Como militante fabiano, Shaw aprofundou seus estudos em economia, tendo se envolvido em uma polêmica com o reverendo, e também estudioso da economia, Philip Wicksteed, sobre a teoria do valor. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar esta polêmica e está dividido em três seções: a primeira descreve a formação do pensamento econômica de George Bernard Shaw; a segunda analisa a formação do pensamento econômico de Philip Wicksteed; e a terceira analisa o conteúdo propriamente da polêmica entre os dois. A conclusão do artigo aponta para a abordagem criativa de Bernard Shaw, mas também seus limites, ao justapor elementos do pensamento econômico marxista e neoclássico, sem alcançar uma síntese precisa de ambos.
