This book is a companion volume to the Royal Economic Society
edition of The Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo, edited by
Piero Sraffa with the collaboration of Maurice Dobb. It completes
the record on Ricardian value theory by showing Ricardo's reaction
to Malthus's pamphlet The Measure of Value Stated and Illustrated
of 1823. Ricardo's Notes are, in Sraffa's words, 'the only
considerable item' not appearing in the Royal Economic Society
edition of his works. In addition, the recent publication by
Cambridge of the variorum edition of Malthus's Principles of
Political Economy, edited by J. M. Pullen, makes it possible to
understand Malthus's pamphlet as an intermediate step between the
1820 and 1836 editions of the Principles. In his introduction Pier
Luigi Porta highlights the place of these Notes in the development
of Ricardo's thinking. When taken with Ricardo's paper on 'Absolute
Value and Exchangeable Value', these Notes provide the essentials
of Ricardian value theory.
