On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation is David Ricardo's 1817 treatise in classical economics. It examines how the produce of land is divided among landowners, capitalists, and labourers as rent, profit, and wages, and considers taxation and foreign trade. It remains valuable for listeners interested in the foundations of economic theory and free-trade argument.
