I was almost convinced that eating children was the solution to poverty.
What once was obvious, bitter satire could likely be considered reasonable in the full insanity of present times.

I love how casual Swift is in his proposal. I felt like he was discussing this with me over some tea. It was amusing to see how he had all the facts ready and all the numbers calculated.
Brilliantly satirical

Dude I'm jus thinking about how silly this was

I'm making a conscious effort to read all (or as many as I can) of the "1001 books to read before you die". This is book #1 in order of "smallest number of pages".
I wish I had read this without having first read what it was about. It took the shock value out of it, entirely. Still, I'm very happy I finally read this. I wish I had read it decades earlier. I'm saying this because, once, years ago, I had written something similar and I was told off in such terms that I never attempted it again. I wonder whether my tutor was unaware of this piece as much as I was. Oh well.
I'm fairly certain that to write this all the way back in 1729 was nothing short of brilliant and extreme.
