RICARDO (DAVID)
Footnotes
FIRST EDITION OF DAVID RICARDO'S MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE SICENCE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. "The fundamental ground-work of the Principles is based on the theory that, given free competition in trade, the exchange value of commodities will be determined by the amount of labour expended in production: not a wholly original thesis, nor one capable of absolute expression, but one which was given new force by the theory of distribution with which Ricardo reinforced it... in the subjects which are capable of his [Ricardo's] rigid analysis, currency and banking, it has proved of lasting value" (PMM).
