What it is about
The Grounds of an Opinion on the Corn Laws (1815).
Context and history
A pamphlet of intervention: Malthus argues, with reservations, for protecting British agriculture from imports. Ricardo argued the opposite, and the exchange between them is the moment political economy becomes a discipline that argues with data. Losing it took thirty years, until repeal in 1846.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
