Synopsis
The State Of The Country Discussed, In A Number Of Questions And Answers. Followed By Postscript On Parliamentary Reforn And On The Poor Laws by Mercator. This tract presents a dialogic examination of Britain's economic and political state after the end of war, addressing causes of national distress, the nature of money, prices, wages, taxes, and the protective effects of policy on different classes. It argues that money's quantity, the price of corn, and the taxation framework influence employment and production; critiques high corn prices and Corn Bills as distorting the economy; emphasizes that the industrious and commercial classes bear the taxes and should be protected, not the landowning sector at expense of manufacturers. The work advocates parliamentary reform to restore representation and curb ministerial influence, advocating for three-year parliaments and a broader commercial voice, while cautioning against radical upheaval. In the Postscript, Mercator addresses Parliamentary Reform and the Poor Laws, proposing fiscal reforms, improved employment, reduced sinecures, and a reformed poor-law system to encourage able-bodied work and provide relief without fostering dependency.
