Gradesaver's summary covers this topic completely. A Modest Proposal is a satire. Swift is addressing economic inequality, the abuse of the poor by the wealthy, and to expose England's bias against other nations and cultures. He is an advocate for virtuous behavior and economizing (spending wisely).
