Давид Рикардо цитаты

„Капитал страны является или основным, или оборотным в зависимости от степени своей долговечности.“

„Вода и воздух чрезвычайно полезны, они прямо необходимы для существования, однако при обычных условиях за них нельзя ничего получить в обмен. Напротив, золото, хотя полезность его в сравнении с воздухом или водой очень мала, обменивается на большое количество других благ.“

„Соразмерно уменьшению капитала страны необходимо уменьшится и её производство; поэтому если такие [непроизводительные] расходы народа и правительства продолжаются и если годовое воспроизводство постоянно уменьшается, то ресурсы народа и государства будут падать с возрастающей быстротой, и результатом будут нищета и разорение.“

„Налог на экспорт кукурузы снижает ее цену для иностранного потребителя, но не оказывает постоянного влияния на ее цену на внутреннем рынке.“

Контексте: If I have to hire a labourer for a week, and instead of ten shillings I pay him eight, no variation having taken place in the value of money, the labourer can probably obtain more food and necessaries with his eight shillings than he before obtained for ten: but this is owing, not to a rise in the real value of his wages, as stated by Adam Smith, and more recently by Mr. Malthus, but to a fall in the value of the things on which his wages are expended, things perfectly distinct; and yet for calling this a fall in the real value of wages, I am told that I adopt new and unusual language, not reconcilable with the true principals of the science. To me it appears that the unusual and, indeed, inconsistent language is that used by my opponents.

Контексте: Under a system of perfectly free commerce, each country naturally devotes its capital and labour to such employments as are most beneficial to each. This pursuit of individual advantage is admirably connected with the universal good of the whole. By stimulating industry, by rewarding ingenuity, and by using most efficaciously the peculiar powers bestowed by nature, it distributes labour most effectively and most economically: while, by increasing the general mass of productions, it diffuses general benefit, and binds together, by one common tie of interest and intercourse, the universal society of nations throughout the civilized world.

“If I discover a manure which will enable me to make a piece of land produce 20 per cent more corn, I may withdraw at least a portion of my capital from the most unproductive part of my farm.”
