A Modest Proposal to Prevent the Children of Poor People from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and to Make Them Useful to the Public, gemeinhin als A Modest Proposal bezeichnet, ist ein satirischer Essay von Jonathan Swift, der 1729 anonym veröffentlicht wurde. Swift schlägt vor, dass verarmte Iren ihre wirtschaftlichen Probleme lindern könnten, indem sie ihre Kinder als Essen für reiche Herren und Damen verkaufen. Diese satirische Übertreibung spottet über den rücksichtslosen Umgang mit den Armen und über die irische Politik im Allgemeinen.

Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".
Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729). He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".
