In a way Ricardo's economic theory is akin to Aristotle's physical theory, it feels a bit difficult to get a grip of it since it's presented without any mathematical or graphic aids. Nevertheless it's easy to see why this was a groundbreaking work, Ricardo's economic acumen and the explicitness of his arguments are nothing short of brilliant.

This work, originally published in 1817, is one of the founding texts of modern economics. Enormously successful as a stockbroker, David Ricardo (1772-1823) was able to lead the life of a wealthy country squire, while his intellectual interests caused him to move in the circles of Thomas Malthus and James Mill. It was at Mill's urging that Ricardo published this book, entered Parliament in 1819 (as an independent member for a rotten Irish borough) and worked for financial and parliamentary reform. Ricardo argues in this work that Adam Smith was mistaken in his understanding of the economic significance of rent, and also demonstrates the mutual benefit of free trade between countries, as against protectionism. The book's findings and conclusions have been controversial since its publication, but led John Stuart Mill to judge Ricardo 'the greatest political economist'.

Even a product that is heavily produced in a country, the product can be at a comparative disadvantage due to its demand and ability to supply it. Preventing trade, through any means of imposing barriers on competition, means that country chooses to create more waste than necessary. The natural price of the product will increase, but not the natural value which means that the produces would gain at the expense of everyone else. There are those that lose and get hurt by altering production due to more trade, but the country as a whole benefits.
This book is not an easy read. Parts of it have extreme clarity, but others require not just an interpretation of implications made, but also an understanding of Ricardo's contemporary situation. Not a mathematically intense book, but data is used to prove points made. Some chapters are dedicated to clarifying ideas to the most minute detail. Ricardo is a rare type of author, because in some parts of the book, he admits to have considered a problem in the wrong way, and then to elucidates the more appropriate explanation. ( )
