#IrishPhilosophy and the #SouthSeaBubble (2)

Molesworth (along with other Irish members at Westminster such as #ThomasBrodrick and #JohnTrenchard) took a lead in pursuing those responsible for the South Sea Bubble fraud.

Trenchard went further, writing "Cato's Letters" with #ThomasGordon, which called for "liberty, accountability, and checks upon the wealthy interests who manipulated government for their own ends." These were very influential in America.
