Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo: Letters, 1819-June 1821, Vol. 8

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), an eminent economist, was a professor of History and Political Economy at the East India Company Haileybury College. Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was the leading philosopher of utilitarianism. Jean Baptiste-Say (1762-1832) was a businessperson who became interested in economics and went on to provide significant contributions to the field, most notably Say's law of markets.Ricardo, David is the author of 'Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo: Letters, 1819-June 1821, Vol. 8', published 2004 under ISBN 9780865979727 and ISBN 0865979723.
