Cobden Plan of Financial Reform and National Economy
An 1848 letter from Cobden to the Liverpool Financial Reform Association argues for direct taxation and large expenditure cuts. He suggests publishing a National Budget, basing it on 1835 costs, to show a £10,000,000 reduction and eliminate excise duties while preserving essential services. He criticizes probate and legacy duties as unfair, urging a simple, targeted reform agenda.
