Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the economic philosophies in David Ricardo's 19th-century work laid the ideological foundation for modern capitalism. While Ricardo saw his work as an objective analysis, the author's in-depth review of Ricardo literature and analysis of the text reveals his conclusions were based on assumptions that failed to account for broader social contexts. The author argues that the influence of Ricardo's individualism and belief in absolute freedom in all areas of life, including economics, created a distorted view of how economies worked. The book concludes that Ricardo's work, though an important contribution to economic thought, should not be seen as a value-neutral set of principles. Instead, it is a product of its time and is full of the biases and blind spots that were common in the era.
