""Plan of an Improved Income Tax and Real Free Trade: With an Equitable Mode of Redeeming the National Debt"" is a book written by James Silk Buckingham in 1845. The book presents a comprehensive plan for reforming the British tax system and achieving a fair and equitable distribution of wealth. Buckingham argues for the implementation of a progressive income tax system that would replace the existing tax on goods and services. He also proposes a system of real free trade, which would eliminate tariffs and other trade barriers, and promote international cooperation and economic growth. In addition, the book outlines a plan for redeeming the national debt in a way that would not burden future generations. Buckingham's ideas were considered radical at the time, but they influenced later economic and political reforms in Britain and other countries. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates and controversies surrounding taxation, trade, and public finance in the mid-19th century.And Some Observations On The Education And Employment Of The People, On Systematic Colonization, And On The Welfare Of The Laboring Classes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Originally published between 1824 and 1853, these four pieces by James Silk Buckingham (1786-1855) illuminate the concerns of a broad-minded traveller and the problems of governing an empire. A newspaperman, social reformer and fierce critic of the East India Company, Buckingham published the Calcutta Journal until his expulsion from India in 1823 for attacking vested interests. The first and second pieces reissued here are his open letters, written anonymously in 1824, to the MP Sir Charles Forbes regarding press freedom and the expulsion, without trial, of himself and another editor. These are followed by an 1830 account of the reception of his public lecture tour on the East India Company's monopoly, and an 1853 outline for the future government of India. Together, these polemical texts provide great insight into contemporary colonial debates surrounding British rule in India.
