of Comparative Advantage

 

    David Ricardo, the greatest of the
classical economists, was born in 1772. His father, a Jewish immigrant, was a
member of the London stock exchange. Ricardo entered his father's business at
the age of 14. In
1793, he married and went into business of his own. The young Ricardo quickly
made a large fortune.

        In 1799, Ricardo read Adam Smith's
"The Wealth of Nations" and developed an interest in political
economy (as economics was then called). In 1809, his first writings on
economics appeared. These were a series of newspaper articles on "The High
Price of Billion". In 1814 he retired from business to devote all his time
to political economy.

         Ricardo's major work was "Principles of  Political Economy and Taxation".   This  
work   contains,   among  
other   things,   a pioneering statement of the principle of
comparative advantage as applied to international trade.    

         Ricardo showed why it was beneficial for both countries, for
England to export wool to Portugal and import wine in return, even though both
products could be produced with less labour in Portugal.

         The book covers the whole field of economics as it then
existed. Ricardo held that the economy was growing toward a future "steady
state".

         Ricardo's book was extremely influential. For more than half
a century thereafter, much of economics was an expansion of or a commentary on
Ricardo's work. Although Karl Marx eventually reached conclusions that differed
radically from any of Ricardo's views, his starting point was Ricardo's theory
of value and method of analyzing economic growth.
