A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift is a satirical essay that suggests the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies. The essay is a powerful critique of British colonial policies and the exploitation of the Irish poor, using irony and extreme proposals to highlight social and political issues.
