'A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick' by Jonathan Swift. This essay is more commonly known simply as 'A Modest Proposal'.

This astonishing essay, an early example of straight-faced satire, was published by Jonathan Swift in 1729, where he suggests that the Irish may attempt to overcome their poverty by selling their children to wealthy families, who could use them for food.
