From bounties on exportation to the natural and market price of labour: Smith versus Ricardo1
Ferdinando Meacci ()
The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2014, vol. 21, issue 3, 392-420
Abstract:
The scope of this article is to examine the foundations of Smith's arguments and of Ricardo's criticisms on the issue of bounties on exportation. These criticisms are examined in the light of the counter-criticisms provided by a fictitious subject called Smith redivivus. These counter-criticisms highlight Ricardo's neglect of the differences between vérité de raison and vérité de fait and between the points of view of an individual and of society behind Smith's treatment of money vs. real, temporary vs. permanent and natural vs. market price of labour as labour and of commodities as products of labour.
