Description:
David Ricardo was born, of Jewish parents, on 18 April 1772. His interest in economics developed rather late, at the age of 29 after reading Adam Smiths The Wealth of Nations. Ricardos subsequent friendship with two of the leading economists at that timeJames Mill and T.R. Malthusfurther stimulated his interest in the science of economics. Besides The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, Ricardo published four monographs/pamphlets: (1) The High Price of Bullion: A Proof of the Depreciation of Bank Notes (1810); (2) Reply to Mr. Bosanquets Practical Observations on the Report of the Bullion Committee (1811); (3) An Essay on the Influence of a Low Price of Corn on the Profits of Stock (1815); and (4) Proposals for an Economical and Secure Currency. (1816). Ricardo was a member of the British Parliament and he was much respected because of his eminence as an economist. Ricardian economics dominated mainstream economic thinking in England for almost the whole of 19th century. As John Maynard Keynes put it in his General Theroy (1936), Ricardo conquered England as completely as the Holy Inquisition conquered Spain.
