This book explores the systems of socialism and capitalism, directing its analysis in accessible language towards an intelligent but non-expert audience, with a particular emphasis on encouraging women to form their own opinions about economic matters. Shaw addresses the evolving nature of wealth distribution and property, challenging readers to question commonly accepted systems and to consider alternatives, especially as society undergoes rapid change. At the start of the book, Shaw directly appeals to the reader (described as "dear madam"), urging her not to blindly accept prevailing doctrines or established authorities on socialism, but rather to think critically and independently about how wealth and resources should be distributed in society. He dismantles the assumption that existing social and legal systems are natural or immutable, emphasizing their historical contingency and constant evolution. The opening lays out that questions around distribution and property, once closed for generations, have now been thrust open for reconsideration amid contemporary social upheavals. Shaw then introduces the problem of "dividing-up" society's income, dismissing myths about saving and stressing that distribution is an ongoing, unavoidable process. Through this, he encourages readers to actively participate in the debate about how society's resources should be shared, as every change in law and policy affects someone’s well-being or wealth.
