 Ricardo, David (1772-1823)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Ricardo carne under attack on these points from Malthus (himself a bullionist), who observed that he overlooked that the precious metals are in the particular situation of 'having been constituted, by the universal consent of society, the general medium of exchange, and instrument of commerce' -or, in Huskisson's words, the 'universal equivalent' (Malthus, 1811, p.
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 attempts to solve the problem of the modifications to the labour theory of value by means of an 'invariable measure of value', or a measure of the 'absolute value', to which he devoted the very last of his writings.

 EH.Net Encyclopedia: David Ricardo
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.
Not surprisingly, then, Ricardo opposed the protectionist Corn Laws in place during his lifetime, and upon retiring from the Stock Exchange in 1819, made his case directly to the House of Commons as the member for Portarlington, a pocket borough in Ireland.

 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.

 Ricardo, David. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
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.
