Thesis:
The thesis of the story is that poor parents should raise their children as food and sell them to help Ireland’s situation.
Main Points:
The poor people of Ireland predominately Catholics are living in squalor due to a financial burden by children should just raise their children as food to help their own financial situation. By doing so it will bring new culture to Ireland such as new culinary arts and creating more food and less people. Swift argues that the problem they are having is its own solution it will lower unemployment and overpopulation. The proposal is meant to solve social, financial, and political problems more efficiently than any other proposed plan.
Conclusions:
Turning the problem into its own solutions solves everything that is currently wrong. By selling children to the rich you are generating money for the poor families that are hardly getting by. Jobs are being created by a new market that offers new opportunity helping economic well-being of Ireland. By proposing an answer like this you cannot really see any downsides to it and in every situation, it is beneficial to adopt this plan and put it into action.

Ireland should take its own problems and fix them without relying on England. Swift is trying to shock Ireland to become its own independent nation and through “A Modest Proposal” he helps do that and shame England at the same
