The Three Ricardos

John E. King

Chapter 8 in David Ricardo, 2013, pp 186-212 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There have always been critics of the (understandable) tendency to claim Ricardo as one’s own. Thus Terence Hutchison complained bitterly about Keynes’s assessment of Ricardo in the General Theory, which he condemned as ‘one of the many examples of the way in which the magic name of Ricardo has been conjured with in generalisations about the history of economic thought’ (Hutchison 1952, p. 417). Hutchison distinguished three guilty parties — Mercantilist-Keynesians, Marxians and neoclassicals — whom he regarded as having been equally responsible for providing tendentious interpretations of Ricardo.
