An Humble Proposal to the People of England by Daniel Defoe: In this book, Defoe proposes a series of economic and political reforms to address the financial crisis facing England in the early 18th century. He argues that the country's debt and deficit are unsustainable and threatens the nation's stability and prosperity. Defoe suggests measures such as reducing government spending, increasing taxes on luxury goods, and promoting trade and commerce to address these issues.
