Synopsis
This 1774 book by an anonymous author explores the changing values and mores of 18th century English aristocracy. It is a detailed account of the profligate spending habits of the upper class, and how their uncontrolled consumption of luxury goods and resources leads to social and economic imbalances. The author shows how extravagance and debt are destroying England's gentry, and provides numerous examples of how the pursuit of luxury leads to moral decay and the erosion of traditional values. The author advocates for a return to simplicity, self-sufficiency, and living within one's means. This book is a valuable historical document providing insight into the social and economic problems of 18th century England.
