"Law Is a Bottomless Pit; or the History of John Bull" is a satirical work by Jonathan Swift, originally presented through a series of letters known as the Drapier's Letters. The story critiques the banking system and economic practices of Swift's time, portraying John Bull as a symbol of the English people. The narrative explores themes of finance, corruption, and the folly of overreaching authority. Through witty and biting satire, Swift addresses the impact of laws and government on individuals, ultimately asserting the need for economic justice and integrity in policy, making a compelling argument for the rights of the common man.
