Dead Economists

When discussing "comparative advantage" in the context of the Tribes of Roma: Tivoli and Frivoli, I mentioned two economists, names with which you should become a bit familiar.

Here are two wikipedia links for your benefit:

Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776

David Ricardo, Principles of Political Economy and Taxation*, 1817

*In class I was not able to instantly recall the name of his work. I noticed on your homework papers many jotted down "he wrote some book". This is the name of his book.

I guess I should make use of the internet in class. We do have this technology!
