Summary | "An Essay on the State of England" by John Cary is an economic treatise written in the late 17th century. The work discusses the relationship between trade, taxation, and the poor in England, particularly in the context of a war with France. Cary aims to analyze how England's trade can be improved to ensure financial stability and prosperity for its citizens while addressing the burdens of taxation. At the start of the essay, Cary introduces the pressing issues facing England, emphasizing the need for a prosperous trade to support the nation's finances during wartime. He suggests various methods for improving trade, such as encouraging domestic manufacturing and securing plantation trade, which could bolster England's economy. Cary also addresses the detrimental impact of heavy taxation on both trade and the poorer classes, arguing that a robust trade system would alleviate these burdens. The opening sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of England's economic state, emphasizing the importance of efficient trade as the foundation of national wealth.
