Sinking funds origin and Lord Stanhope scheme
The piece explains sinking funds as conceived by Lord Stanhope in 1716 to fund national debt. It notes early tax schemes creating a reserve to pay debt, later misused by graft, and recounts Price and Pitt advocating annual investments of 5 million dollars at compound interest to build a larger fund. It cites a hypothetical scenario of debt growth without such funds and a proposed 2 million yearly sinking fund to reduce eventual debt.
