About the Book

Major Barbara (Reprint) & Majorin Barbara (German Translation). This reprint is a handmade reproduction from the original edition of 1920, and remains as true to the original work as possible: unabridged and unedited. Der Nachdruck wurde aus der Originalausgabe von 1920 manuell aufbereitet bzw. ungekürzt und dem Originalwerk so treu wie möglich reproduziert.The Oscar & Nobel Prize in literature winner Bernard Shaw described in Major Barbara the military-industrial complex 56 years before the term was introduced by the US President Dwight Eisenhower. An arms manufacturer and arms dealer Undershaft explains to his son in the play how the military-industrial complex works: "I am the government of your country: I, and [my business partner] Lazarus. Do you suppose that you and half a dozen amateurs like you, sitting in a row in that foolish gabble shop, can govern Undershaft and Lazarus? No, my friend: you will do what pays us. You will make war when it suits us, and keep peace when it doesn't. You will find out that trade requires certain measures when we have decided on those measures. When I want anything to keep my dividends up, you will discover that my want is a national need. When other people want something to keep my dividends down, you will call out the police and military. And in return you shall have the support and applause of my newspapers, and the delight of imagining that you are a great statesman." The oligarchy of intellectuals and politicians also were not neglected. The successor of Undershaft has a plan: "I now want to give the common man weapons against the intellectual man. I love the common people. I want to arm them against the lawyer, the doctor, the priest, the literary man, the professor, the artist, and the politician, who, once in authority, are the most dangerous, disastrous and tyrannical of all the fools, rascals, and impostors. I want a democratic power strong enough to force the intellectual oligarchy to use its genius for the general good or else perish."Oscar- und Literaturnobelpreisträger Bernard Shaw beschrieb in Majorin Barbara den militärisch-industrieller Komplex 56 Jahre davor, als dieser Begriff durch den US-Präsidenten Dwight D. Eisenhower eingeführt wurde. Ein Waffenfabrikant bzw. Waffenhändler erklärt seinem Sohn in dem Stück, wie der militärisch-industrieller Komplex funktioniert: "Ich bin die Regierung deines Landes: ich und [mein Geschäftspartner] Lazarus. Meinst du, dass du und ein halbes Dutzend Amateure wie du, die in diesem albernen, schwätzenden Laden hintereinander sitzen, uns regieren können? Nein, mein Freund: Du wirst tun, was uns den Gewinn bringt. Du wirst einen Krieg führen, wenn er uns passt und du wirst den Frieden bewahren, wenn der Krieg uns nicht passt. Du wirst herausfinden, dass die Wirtschaft bestimmte Maßnahmen braucht, wenn wir uns für diese Maßnahmen entschieden haben. Wenn ich etwas will, um meine Gewinne hochzuhalten, wirst du feststellen, dass mein Wunsch im nationalen Interesse ist. Wenn andere Leute etwas wollen, um meine Gewinne niedrig zu halten, wirst du die Polizei und das Militär rufen. Und als Gegenleistung erhältst du die Unterstützung und den Beifall meiner Zeitungen und die Freude der Einbildung, dass du ein großer Staatsmann sei." Auch die Oligarchie der Intellektuellen und Politiker wurde berücksichtigt. Der Nachfolger des Waffenhändlers spricht Klartext: "Jetzt möchte ich Normalbürgern die Waffen gegen Intellektuelle geben. Ich liebe Normalbürger. Ich möchte sie gegen Anwälte, Ärzte, Priester, Künstler, Professoren, Journalisten aufrüsten. Ich möchte Normalbürger ebenfalls gegen solche Politiker aufrüsten, die - wenn sie an die Macht kommen - gefährlicher, desaströser und tyrannischer als alle Dummköpfe, Bösewichte und Betrüger sind. Ich möchte eine demokratische Macht, die stark genug ist, um die Oligarchie der Intellektuellen zu zwingen, ihre kreativen Kräfte für das Allgem
