Monopolies and the South Sea scheme cited as dangers to liberty
A letter to the London Evening Post argues against exclusive companies and stock-jobbing. It warns monopolies corrupt trade and threaten liberties, citing the South Sea crisis of 1724 as a warning and urging virtue over speculative finance. An accompanying missive from a Madam addresses misread intentions and urges virtuous conduct and decency in public discourse.
