Jonathan Swift, Ireland
-120,000 constant breeders

 Addresses poverty and overpopulation, mainly caused my Catholics.

 Popish/papist – roman catholics
 Swift proposes a solution. Undernourished children under the age of one should be fattened up
and sold as a food source to Ireland’s wealthy landowners.
 Lessen the number of papists who continuously makes children
 It would spare the cost of raising the child and become a source of income to families
 The nation’s overall economic well-being would benefit
 Half of the children would be turned into food and the other half would live
 Husbands who abuse their wives would change and treat them with respect and care, since the
child that they are bearing would have value.

 Learn to love our country
 Curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women
