People in the News - David Ricardo

David Ricardo was a political economist who lived during the time of the Industrial Revolution and was considered one of the most influential economists of his time. He was a member of Parliament (among many other things) and ended up quite wealthy. He is probably best known for his ideas on the 'Iron Law of Wages', which says that eventually wages always trend towards the lowest possible life-sustaining pay grade.
