Jonathan Swiftâs brilliant work of satire A Modest Proposal put forth a simple solution for the crop failure and dearth of essential goods in 18th-century Ireland: the impoverished populace should sell their children as food to the wealthier classes. Far from legitimately suggesting cannibalism as a cure for societal ills, however, Swift put his biting wit and profound use of irony to work critiquing mercantilism.
