by David Ricardo (Author)
Letters of David Ricardo to Thomas Robert Malthus 1810-1823 is Ricardo's correspondence with his friend and fellow classical economist, Malthus. The eighty-eight letters cover a range of subjects affecting economy including: currency, trade, rent, wages, and the cost of corn. Ricardo's letters suggest numerous disagreements on many subjects, which provide a dynamic glimpse into political economics of nineteenth century England. Friend to, colleague of, and influence on the likes of James Mill, Jeremy Bentham, and Thomas Malthus, revolutionary British writer DAVID RICARDO (1772-1823) was one of the foundational thinkers of classical economics, developing theories of rent, wages, profits, value, and labor that continue to dramatically impact economic philosophy today.
