Ein englischer Geschäftsmann, Mr Wood, hat einen glorreichen Einfall, wie er den Iren ihr Geld auf ebenso geschickte wie schamlose Art und Weise legal aus deren Taschen ziehen kann. Jedoch hat er nicht damit gerechnet, dass Mr. Jonathan Swift seinen durch höchste britische Stellen abgesegneten Beutezug durchschauen würde. In der Analyse und Auseinandersetzung mit den Argumenten des "englischen Wirtschaftsgenies" wird die unglaubliche Heuchelei, Unverschämtheit und gewissenlose Gerissenheit ans Tageslicht gebracht, mit welcher skrupellose britische Turbo-Kapitalisten die irische Bevölkerung auszubeuten beabsichtigen.

Quando Lemuel Gulliver si sveglia su un'isola dopo un naufragio, con mani e piedi legati e tante frecce puntate su di lui, penseresti che ogni speranza è perduta. Ma i rapitori sono alti un dito, la corda è sottile come un filo e le piccole frecce sfiorano appena la superficie della pelle di Gulliver.

„Die Bücherschlacht“ ist eine Erzählung von Jonathan Swift: Wie die folgende Abhandlung unfraglich von demselben Verfasser ist, so scheint sie auch ungefähr um dieselbe Zeit geschrieben worden zu sein wie die vorhergehende; ich meine, im Jahre 1697, als der berühmte Streit über die alte und die moderne Gelehrsamkeit im Schwange war. Die Polemik entstand infolge einer Schrift Sir William Temples über jenes Thema, auf die W. Wotton antwortete, während Dr.

A Modest Proposal is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift. Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire.

Not long into Christopher’s visit, Richard begins to suspect that the Newman Home’s methods for developing their children into future leaders are too experimental.
