Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions in written form.David Ricardo, the greatest of the classical economists, was born in 1772. His father, a Jewish immigrant, was a member of the London stock exchange. Ricardo entered his father’s business at the age of 14. In 1973, he married and went into business of his own. The young Ricardo quickly made a large fortune. In 1799, Ricardo read Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” and developed an interest in political economy (as economics was then called). In 1809, his first writings on economics appeared. These were a series of newspaper articles on “The High Price of Billion”. In 1814 he retired from business to devote all his time to political economy. Ricardo’s major work was “Principles of Political Economy and Taxation”. This work contains, among other things, a pioneering statement of the principle of comparative advantage as applied to international trade. Ricardo showed why it was beneficial for both countries, for England tp export wool to Portugal and import wine in return< even though both products could be produced with less labour in Portugal. The book covers the whole field of economics as it then existed. Ricardo held that the economy was growing toward a future “steady state”. Ricardo’s book was extremely influential. For more than half a century thereafter, much of economics was an expansion of or a commentary on Ricardo’s work. Although Karl Marx eventually reached conclusions that differed radically from any of Ricardo’s views, his starting point was Ricardo’s theory of value and method of analyzing economic growth. 1.What was David Ricardo? 2.
