Publisher's Synopsis
On The Principles Of Political Economy And Taxation is a seminal work by David Ricardo, published in 1821. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the principles of political economy and taxation, and is considered one of the most influential works in the field of economics. Ricardo's central argument is that the value of a good is determined by the amount of labor required to produce it, and that free trade is the most efficient way to allocate resources and promote economic growth. He also argues that taxes should be levied on the basis of ability to pay, and that government intervention in the economy should be limited. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and is accessible to both scholars and lay readers. It has had a profound impact on economic theory and policy, and continues to be widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
