More From David Ricardo

There Can Be No Rise In The Value Of Labour Without A Fall Of Profits.

Again Two Manufacturers May Employ The Same Amount Of Fixed, And The Same Amount Of Circulating Capital; But The Durability Of Their Fixed Capitals May Be Very Unequal.

Whenever, Then, The Usual And Ordinary Rate Of The Profits Of Agricultural Stock, And All The Outgoings Belonging To The Cultivation Of Land, Are Together Equal To The Value Of The Whole Produce, There Can Be No Rent.

No Extension Of Foreign Trade Will Immediately Increase The Amount Of Value In A Country, Although It Will Very Powerfully Contribute To Increase The Mass Of Commodities And Therefore The Sum Of Enjoyments.

It Appears To Me That One Great Cause Of Our Difference In Opinion On Subjects Which We Often Discuss Is That You Have Always In Mind The Immediate And Temporary Effects Of Particular Changes, Whereas I Put These Effects Quite Aside, And Fix My Whole Attention On The Long-term Effects That Will Result From Them.
