"An Humble Proposal to the People of England, for the Increase of their Trade,…" by the Author of the COMPLETE TRADESMAN is a treatise focused on trade and economic improvement, written during the early 18th century. This publication seeks to address the health of England’s commerce and manufacturing, advocating for enhanced productivity and self-reliance among the English people in their economic pursuits. The book proposes that national prosperity hinges on the vigorous improvement of trade and the cultivation of manufacturing capabilities, particularly the woollen industry. The author critiques the prevailing attitudes towards indolence and negligence that have hindered progress, urging for a collective awakening to the nation’s potential. Through various arguments, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining domestic production and consumption of wool, highlights the detrimental impact of relying on foreign imports, and calls for innovation in marketing and expanding trade routes. The central message is a rallying cry to harness England's resources and labor for greater economic self-sufficiency and global competitiveness.
