Mokshud Ali, H M Atif Wafik, Md. Nur Nobi, Mahfuza Akter Masnun & Abdullah Al Rakib md.mokshudali@gmail.com <p>This article looks at how author and journalist Daniel Defoe writes to benefit the commercial industry. Defoe supported trade and included characters who emphasized its benefits in stories like Robinson Crusoe and publications like "Essay upon Projects" and "Complete English Tradesman." Although the merchant's profession is originally represented negatively in "Robinson Crusoe," Defoe gradually came to appreciate the qualities that allowed people to succeed in the trading industry. Joseph Addison was also an editor of The Spectator, a journal that promoted the benefits of the private sector.</p> 2024-04-02T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 @Writer
