Part of: The Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo, 11 vols (Sraffa ed.) The Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo, Vol. 8 Letters 1819-June 1821

This period of Ricardo’s life witnessed his entrance into Parliament as a member of the House of Commons where he became an influential advocate of free trade through his opposition to Britain’s restrictive “Corn laws.” These letters preserve the intellectual give-and-take on many of the political economic issues of Ricardo’s age. The list of these eminent correspondents include: T. R. Malthus (1766-1834). Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), and Jean Baptiste-Say (1762-1832).
