A Modest Proposal is one of the most notorious satirical essays in the English language. Written by Jonathan Swift and first published in 1729, the essay advocates a shocking solution to Ireland's poverty problem: selling the children of the poor as food for the rich. Swift's savage takedown of English economic policy and his biting critique of the callousness of the ruling class make this essay a timeless masterpiece of political satire. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of satire and political commentary.
