It's an essay called "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. And for those of you who are curious, it is a satire. Swift is not really a cannibal.

Then there grew to become into the British government's strict adherence to unfastened industry techniques that's why they refused to enact an export ban of the crop from eire.

It was not a book. It was an article written by Johnathan Swift.
