This sharp satire targets Robert Walpole, drawing an intriguing parallel between the notorious gang leader and highwayman Jonathan Wild. Fielding cleverly likens the Whig party in Parliament to a band of thieves led by Walpole, whose relentless ambition to be seen as a Great Man—a title he often claimed—ultimately leads to his ironic downfall being hanged.

He did not object to altruism per se, but was concerned about its misapplication in a way that does not address the root of the problem.

In Rekordzeit hat er die Weltordnung erschüttert: Die Regierung geht demonstrativ auf Distanz zu WTO und NATO, kürzt die internationale Entwicklungshilfe drastisch und verlässt das Pariser Klimaabkommen.
