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.

The preview is hidden because the digitized text is not reliable enough. The full work remains available.
