Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an economic treatise, published in the eighteenth century during a time of national financial strain. The author argues that proposed measures to stimulate the British economy by reducing interest rates on the national debt from four to three percent would be detrimental to all levels of society. The author contends that wealthy landowners and merchants would suffer as consumer demand for their goods and services declined, and the poor would see income from their savings and annuities diminish. The author also asserts that a reduction in interest rates would increase the demand for capital to invest abroad, which would draw capital from British businesses, reducing overall economic vitality. The author concludes that the negative consequences of lowering interest rates would outweigh the benefits, and suggests other routes to economic recovery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

First edition. 30pp. Without half-title. Modern buff paper boards, contrasting black morocco lettering-piece to spine. A clean and crisp copy. The sole edition of an anonymous pamphlet opposing Whig politician Sir John Barnard's (c. 1685-1764) proposition of reducing the medium interest rate on the national debt to three percent. Barnard's tireless representation of the economic welfare of small merchants and manufacturers secured his reputation as a champion of the common man. His concern over the influence of moneyed interest and his position as an adversary to political corruption won him few friends in Walpole's government. His scheme to reduce the interest on the national debt was thwarted only by Walpole's direct intervention. ESTC T31244. Size: 8vo.…
