An Irrefragable Argument Fully Proving, That To Discharge Great Debts Is Less Injury, And More Reasonable, Than To Discharge Small Debts. … By Samuel Byrom,

This work, first published in 1728, is a treatise on the ethics of indebtedness. Byrom argues that it is more moral to default on a large debt than a small one, as the latter is likely to cause more harm to the creditor. The book provides a fascinating insight into the social and moral values of the time, as well as the intricacies of early modern economics.
