Causes and Remedies for Distress in the Country
John Wade presents an analysis of the nation’s distress and argues for practical remedies. The work surveys economic and political factors, proposing reforms aimed at stabilizing industry and improving governance. Wade references his prior historical and philosophical writings to frame his critique.
Remedies for National Distress and Taxation Proposals
The text argues for remedies by legislation to relieve national distress. It warns that cheap transatlantic trade will fuse nations, raise prices unevenly, and erode Britain’s wealth unless taxes on landowners and capital holders are increased. It endorses targeted taxes on mortgage holders stock owners and dividends to fund relief and protect commerce while outlining colonial land sales and emigration trends to Australia and America.
