William Cobbett's scathing critique of the British financial system and its impact on the economy and society was first published in 1810. Cobbett exposes the flaws and manipulation of the paper-money and fund system and argues for a return to sound currency and prudent management of public finances. He also offers a stark warning against the dangers of war and imperialism for national prosperity.
