It's one of those progressive, liberal thinking that we so often see today that Jonathan Swift makes in this book. The perfect solution to eradicating poverty, and improving the lives of the rest of the world with it. Amazing stuff. It's the kind any new-ecologist would like, since they totally prefer animals to humans anyway ;)

Must read.

Read for British Literature.

Iโ€™m not sure if the political climate at the time of this writing, but I believe Jonathan Swift was making fun of rich people who thought that poor people were a burden. And thatโ€™s a slay.

Itโ€™s honestly mortifying how convincing Jonathan Swift makes this modest proposal look. So good.

A good satirical piece from Johnathon Swift in the 18th century
