‘David Ricardo and T. R. Malthus shared an endearing friendship despite a contentious divergence of opinion on many political economic issues. This volume contains the formal remnants of their differences. Ricardo analyses, issue-by-issue, his points of divergence to Malthus’s Principles of Political Economy’ (Mises Institute).

Ricardo’s Notes were never published during his lifetime and the original manuscript was thought to be lost for a century, before being rediscovered in 1919 by Frank Ricardo, a great-grandson of the economist, at Bromesberrow Place, Ledbury (formerly the residence of Ricardo’s eldest son Osman).

From the library of the distinguished American demographer and historian of economic thought Joseph J. Spengler (1902-1991), with some of his pencilled annotations to the endpapers along with a few occasional instances of pencilled underling throughout.
