| Summary | "A Stiptick for a Bleeding Nation" by Unknown is a treatise on financial policy and national debt, written in the early 18th century. This work addresses the pressing issues of public credit and economic restoration following the economic turmoil of the South Sea Bubble. The likely topic centers around the proposal of reforms aimed at stabilizing the nation’s finances and providing solutions to its mounting debts. The book presents a comprehensive plan to restore public credit by scrutinizing the causes of economic decline, such as corruption and luxury. It critiques existing financial institutions and practices, suggesting that government intervention is necessary to right the economic wrongs. Central to the proposal are measures to encourage industry and virtue, discourage stock speculation, and promote trade practices that would increase exports and stabilize currency. The author argues for a reassessment of financial structures, calling for a more ethical and productive economic approach, ultimately aiming at rejuvenating the nation's fiscal health and safeguarding its prosperity.
