Abstract: This paper is concerned with the reception and influence of Ricardo's Principles in the non-English-speaking world. It mainly focuses on those writers who have appreciated and elaborated on Ricardo's core theory of value and distribution in contributing toward the advancement of classical economics. The paper shows that with the exception of Marx and a few notable scholars, Ricardo's contribution was generally not well received nor well understood in the European Continent in the first half of the nineteenth century. It then shows that with the rise of Marx and the spread of Marxism there was a renewed interest in Ricardo's core theory in Europe and Japan in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century that led to some important though neglected contributions toward the scientific advancement of classical economics.
