Child Stew


Swift = Irish not an English writer ... wrote a proposal for British elite to eliminate the poverty in Ireland ..
[please realize it was an ironic critique on the British Oligarchy]
A Modest Proposal

For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland,
from being a burden on their parents or country,
and for making them beneficial to the publick.
