		David Ricardo (1772-1823) was one of the greatest theoretical economists of all time.
		Ricardo, though, prospered in the financial business to a far greater extent than his father, amassing a fortune of about £700,000 (equivalent to approximately £40 million today).
		For Ricardo, rent arises from the advantages that one site has over another due to differing degrees of soil fertility: rent per acre is highest on the most fertile land, and declines to zero on the worst quality soil.

	Ricardo - David
		David Ricardo, working in the early part of the 19th century, realised that absolute advantage was a limited case of a more general theory.

	David Ricardo - Encyclopedia.com
		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.
		Ricardo was also concerned with the subject of international trade, and for that he developed the theory of comparative advantage, still widely accepted among economists.
		In a now classic illustration, Ricardo explained how it was advantageous for England to produce cloth and Portugal to produce wine, as long as both countries traded freely with each other, even though Portugal might have produced both wine and cloth at a lower cost than England did.

		Ricardo’s belief that total output will ultimately stop growing convinced him that the main issue in economics was not to figure out how economies grow richer but to figure out how the limited output in the economy’s stationary state is distributed or shared among the various sectors of the economy.
		Ricardo was also aware that even if wheat and rice took the same amount of time to be produced, the LTV would still be in trouble if the fertility of land varied from one place to another.
		Ricardo's disagreement with Thomas Malthus on the import tariffs embedded in the Corn Laws—Ricardo was against the tariffs, of course—was rooted in his theory of trade.

	David Ricardo: Theory of Free International Trade - Economic Insights - FRB Dallas
		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.
		It was from Malthus that Ricardo took the argument of an evergrowing population that pressed against all economic expansions, an assumption that lay at the heart of Ricardo’s model.
		Ricardo’s theory of rent was tied directly to the marginal productivity of land, his theory of value was tied directly to labor costs, and his theory of distribution stood atop both concepts, with Malthusian economic stagnation as a major assumption.

	David Ricardo
		David Ricardo was born in London in 1772 to a wealthy Jewish family.
		Ricardo felt that the growth of capital and population lead to extension of cultivation to less fertile and less accessible land and to decreasing returns on cultivated land upon the application of heavy farming.
		Ricardo did all of these things without ever having formal education in the field of economics, rather he learned by doing, and to this day people are effected by his thoughts on modern economics.

		David Ricardo, born in 1772, became interested in economics at the age of 27 after a chance reading of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations (1776).
		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 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 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.
		Ricardo understood that if he then assumed that the rates of profit across different industries were equalized (as free competition would imply), then, mathematically, relative prices would now vary with wages - exactly what he had criticized Adam Smith for.
		Notice that the differences in initial position mean that the labor theory of value is not assumed to hold across countries - as it should be, Ricardo argued, because factors, particularly labor, are not mobile across borders.

		Ricardo was the third son of a Dutch Jew who had made a fortune on the London Stock Exchange.
		At this time Ricardo became friends withs the philosopher and economist James Mill (father of John Stuart Mill), the Utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham and Thomas Malthus, best known for his theory that population tends to increase faster than the food supply.
		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.
