A Modest Proposal by Johnathan Swift
Some short comments.
I have read it before.
It is not fair to call it a book – at most in print it would be 20 pages – with large type.
Historically it is significant.
Everyone should read it as one of the most sophisticated bits of satire ever written.
Don't take him seriously – even though he was serious about the social problems he was addressing – but he was not serious about his solution.
