Ricardo And His Editors

Author

Listed:
  • Murray Milgate

Abstract

This paper examines the treatment of David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy and Taxation at the hands of its major editors since its original publication in 1817. It seeks to isolate the way in which the general nature and significance of that book has been presented by its various editors in an effort to find out how much has changed, and how much has remained the same. It shows that, with one notable exception, there is a remarkable continuity in the key dimensions of the ‘Figure of Ricardo’ that has been transmitted down the years.
