Beschreibung

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), one of the greatest Anglo-Irish writers, famous for his masterpiece Gulliver's Travels and for other important literary works, was also a poet, an essayist, a political pamphleteer, an Anglican cleric and, most likely, a great initiate.He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms – such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier – or anonymously. He was also a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles, and wrote many political and satirical pamphlets, first for the Whigs, then for the Tories.In the context of his satirical and provocative production, there is his most famous pamphlet, A Modest proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick, commonly referred to as “A Modest Proposal”, a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously in 1729. The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies.

    Fiat socialism could also be called flexible socialism, as it frees socialism from the rigidities imposed by historical law. This socialism will take different forms in different places, it accepts that socialist organizations are not exempt from making mistakes, it will involve different levels of participation by the private sector, as well as different levels in the gross operating surpluses, and it is open to processes of improvement in order to mobilize real resources in the best possible way to achieve the goals of socialism. Only one rigidity is established: monetary sovereignty.
    Modern monetary theory is only valid in monetary systems where the state is the sovereign issuer of its currency and where there is an appropriate coordination between the Central Bank and the Treasury. If Archimedes in ancient Greece said give me a point of support and I will move the world, a socialist Archimedes would say give me monetary sovereignty and I will build you socialism.
