Prosperity Restored: Or Reflections On The Cause Of The Public Distresses, And On The Only Means Of Relieving Them (1817)

By Thomas Attwood

Book Overview

Prosperity Restored is a book written by Thomas Attwood in 1817. The book is a reflection on the cause of public distress and the only means of relieving it. Attwood was a British economist and political reformer who was concerned about the economic state of the country at the time. The book discusses the economic policies of the government and their impact on the people. Attwood argues that the government's policies have led to the current state of public distress and that the only way to restore prosperity is through a radical change in economic policy. He proposes a series of reforms, including the establishment of a national bank, the abolition of taxes on essential goods, and the introduction of a progressive income tax. Attwood's ideas were influential in the development of economic policy in Britain and the book remains an important historical document in the study of economic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
