Everybody's Business is Nobody's Business: Or, Private Abuses, Public Grievances Exemplified is a 1725 pamphlet by Daniel Defoe.[1] It deals with the "exorbitant Wages of our Women, Servants, Footmen".[2] Similarly to The Protestant Monastery (1726), Parochial Tyranny (1727), Augusta Triumphans (1728) and Second Thoughts are Best (1729), it was published under the pseudonym of Andrew Moreton.[1] Defoe did not sign his name to the majority of his works.[3] He preferred them to be published anonymously or under one of his pen names.[3] This choice was “sometimes” made “to conceal his authorship or to stimulate sales, but more characteristically to establish a point of view”.[3]
