Prosperity Restored: Or Reflections On The Cause Of The Public Distresses, And On The Only Means Of Relieving Them is a book written by Thomas Attwood in 1817. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic distress that England was facing during the early 19th century. Attwood argues that the root cause of the economic distress was the currency system, which was based on the gold standard. He proposes a new system of paper money that would be backed by land instead of gold. Attwood also discusses the importance of agriculture and the need to protect it from foreign competition. He advocates for the abolition of the Corn Laws, which were tariffs on imported grain that protected British farmers but raised the price of bread for consumers. Throughout the book, Attwood emphasizes the importance of a strong and prosperous middle class. He argues that the current economic system favors the wealthy and leaves the middle class and working class struggling. He proposes policies that would promote economic growth and job creation, such as investing in infrastructure and expanding trade. Overall, Prosperity Restored is a comprehensive analysis of the economic challenges facing England in the early 19th century and proposes solutions to address these challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
