Barlow suggests that they should work to create a more equal society, with a focus on education and social welfare programs. He also advises them to embrace democracy and to work towards a more representative government.The final part of the book is a call to action, urging the privileged classes to take action before it is too late. Barlow warns that if they do not act soon, the people will rise up and overthrow the existing system, leading to chaos and violence.Overall, ""Advice to the Privileged Orders in the Several States of Europe"" is a passionate plea for reform and a warning about the dangers of social and political inequality.
