| | David Ricardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Another idea associated with Ricardo is Ricardian equivalence, an argument suggesting that in some circumstances a government's choice of how to pay for its spending (i.e., whether to use tax revenue or issue debt and run a deficit) might have no effect on the economy. | | | The natural price of labor was the cost of its production, that cost of maintaining the laborer. | | | Ricardo believed that in the long run, prices reflect the cost of production, and referred to this long run price as a Natural price. |

| | Ricardo, David (1772-1823) |
| | Ricardo's interest in the theory of distribution, as has already been mentioned, arose with the problem of the determination of the rate of profits, and in a sense it was always on the rate of profits that he focussed. | | | Ricardo, who was 'an enemy to taxation altogether' (V, 26), in the debate on the Budget gave hints of a plan to repay the whole of the national debt in four or five years, by means of a tax on property. | | | In general, Ricardo appears to regard public expenditure as unproductive, and he accordingly adopts 'the golden maxim of M. Say, "that the very best of all plans of finance is to spend little, and the best of all taxes is that which is the least in amount" ' (1, 242). |

| | Printer Friendly - Economist David Ricardo on Taxes |
| | Ricardo agreed that taxes on rents from unimproved land provided the one exception to the principle that “broader is better.” However, he summarily rejected taxes levied disproportionately on landowners because he believed such taxes violate Smith’s equity maxim. | | | Ricardo did not become a full-time professional economist until he was 41--after he had amassed a fortune as a dealer in government securities. | | | Ricardo proves the wages in both nations necessarily increase with free trade and by specialization in the production of those commodities in which workers are “comparatively” most productive. |

| | Ricardo, himself a landowner who was profiting from the rising rents, nevertheless argued that the Corn Laws should not be enacted and, after they were, continued to argue strenuously for their repeal. | | | Ricardo was a believer in the strict quantity theory of money, whereby the price level is directly proportional to the quantity of money circulating and changes in that quantity of money change prices instead of real factors. | | | Ricardo was not so naive as to attempt to explain all market prices by labor costs. |

| | David Ricardo |
| | Ricardo's argument was that there are gains from trade if each nation specializes completely in the production of the good in which it has a "comparative" cost advantage in producing, and then trades with the other nation for the other good. | | | Ricardo even passed on investment tips to Malthus -- the most famous case being when Ricardo urged Malthus to invest in the bond market in anticipation of a British victory at Waterloo. | | | But, prodded on by Malthus's criticisms, Ricardo realized that in a multiple-commodity economy, for rents and profits to remain residuals, then prices must be pinned down somewhere. |

| | David Ricardo: A Brief Biography |
| | He found the relative domestic values of commodities were dominated by the quantities of labour required in their production, rent being eliminated from the costs of production. | | | Consequently, there had been an increase in the amount of their paper currency and the volume of lending. | | | He was concerned about the population growing too rapidly, in case it depressed wages to the subsistence level, reduce profits and checked capital formation. |

| | Ricardo first gained notice among economists over the "bullion controversy." In 1809 he wrote that England's inflation was the result of the Bank of England's propensity to issue excess bank notes. | | | One of the most famous laws of economics, it holds that as more and more resources are combined in production with a fixed resource—for example, as more labor and machinery are used on a fixed amount of land—the additions to output will diminish. | | | These gains come, Ricardo observed, because each country specializes in producing the good for which its comparative cost is lower. |

| | David Ricardo's theory on international trade focused on comparative costs of production and looked at how a country could gain from trade when it had relatively lower costs. | | | Ricardo showed that if one country produced a good at a lower opportunity cost than another country, then it should specialize in that good. | | | As this gradually fell due to diminishing returns, capital would shift to more profitable activities. |

| | A committee appointed by the House of Commons, known as the Bullion Committee, confirmed Ricardo's views and recommended the repeal of the Bank Restriction Act which had obliged the Bank to withhold payment in gold under the strain of war with France. | | | This provoked a popular outcry and caused Ricardo to publish his Essay on the Influence of a Low Price of Corn on the Profits of Stock (1815), in which he argued that raising the tariff on grain imports tended to increase the rents of the country gentlemen while decreasing the profits of manufacturers. | | | Marx fundamentally differs with Ricardo over the Falling Rate of Profit, Ricardo's theory of rent, law of comparative cost, the concept of money and wages and profits. |

| | As far as value was concerned, Ricardo stated that the value of almost any good was, essentially, a function of the labor needed to produce it. | | | According to his labor theory of value, a clock costing $100 required 10 times as much labor for its production as did a pair of shoes costing $10. | | | AFP PHOTO/ David Hernandez (Photo credit should read DAVID HERNANDEZ/AFP/Getty Images) Dateline: BOCA DEL RIO, MEXICO |

| | Comparative advantage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Ricardo's principle relies on a variety of implicit assumptions that are debatable, such as that there is no (or a low) cost for transportation, and that the advantages of increased production outweigh externalities such as environmental contamination or social inequities. | | | Gottfried Haberler showed in the 1930s that Ricardo's thinking on comparative advantage could also be expressed in neoclassical terms of opportunity cost. | | | It is also necessary that there be restrictions on the flow of capital — otherwise, there would be no incentive to invest in the manufacture of either wine or cloth in England, since both are more costly to produce there. |
