Now More Than Ever is a three-act play written by Aldous Huxley in 1932-1933, following his novel Brave New World. The play serves as a response to the social, economic, and political upheavals of its time, particularly the Great Depression. It centers on an idealistic financier whose ambitious schemes for industrial renewal lead him to unethical practices and ultimately to suicide. Through this narrative, Huxley critiques free-market capitalism and advocates for national economic planning and industrial rationalization. The play remained unpublished until 2000, when it was released by the University of Texas |
