Best Answer

In 1729, Swift worked for Irish causes by writing "A Modest Proposal," a satire showing the brutal indifference the English demonstrated toward the starving Irish. Swift accused the British Parliament of cruelty and economists of the period who saw people as commodities rather than suffering individuals.
