The Drama of Historical Materialism, which
was published in 1907 in The Twentieth Century. In this study,
Polányi warmly welcomes the plays of G. B. Shaw, who
"created the drama of historical materialism" in them. He argues—contradicting the views of M. Beer and E. Bernstein—
that there is a contradiction between the messages of Shaw's essays and plays. While in the former he rejects Marx's theory of value and class struggle, in his plays he "created insights with an intuitive glance that
completely refute his own ideas."
