"David Ricardo has been acclaimed - or vilified - for merits he would never have dreamt of, or sins for which he was entirely innocent. Entrenched mythology labels him as a utilitarian economist, an enemy of the working class, an impractical theorist, a scientist with 'no philosophy at all' and the author of a formalist methodological revolution. Exploring a middle ground between theory and biography, this book explores the formative intellectual encounters of a man who came to economic studies via other experiences, thus bridging the gap between the historical Ricardo and the economist's Ricardo. The chapters undertake a thorough analysis of Ricardo's writings in their context, asking who was speaking, what audience was being addressed, with what communicative intentions, using what kind of lexicon and communicative conventions, and starting with what shared knowledge. The work opens in presenting the different religious communities with which Ricardo was in touch. It goes on to describe his education in the leading science of the time - geology - before he turned to the study of political economy. Another chapter discusses five 'philosophers' - students of logic, ethics and politics - with whom he was in touch. From correspondence, manuscripts and publications, the closing chapters reconstruct, firstly, Ricardo's ideas on scientific method, the limits of the 'abstract science' and its application, secondly, his ideas on ethics and politics and their impact on strategies for improving the condition of the working class. This book sheds new light on Ricardian economics, providing an invaluable service to readers of economic methodology, philosophy of economics, the history of economic thought, political thought and philosophy. Sergio Cremaschi is a former Reader of Moral Philosophy at the 'Amedeo Avogadro' University at Vercelli"--

Une lecture de vacances, au hasard d’un séjour à Bath, change la destinée de David Ricardo (1772-1823) : la découverte des Recherches sur les causes et la nature de la richesse des nations d’Adam Smith, le conduira à refonder, en quelques années, l’économie politique. Nombreux sont ceux qui ont construit leur œuvre en réponse à ses Principes ou en rupture avec eux : de Malthus, qui fut son meilleur ami et son plus fidèle adversaire, à Marx ou Keynes des années plus tard.Après Trafalgar et Waterloo, dans le décor d’une Angleterre qui est celle des gentilshommes campagnards de Jane Austen, mais aussi des ateliers de Manchester, tous les conflits sont loin d’être résolus : rentiers du sol contre industriels, ouvriers contre patrons, fermiers contre propriétaires… Ricardo est le premier à scruter les contradictions, mais aussi les espérances d’une société capitaliste.C’est le propre des classiques d’être toujours actuels, même deux cents ans après leur mort. L’armature forgée par ce prince de l’économie permet encore de poser, en toute objectivité, les termes des débats les plus biaisés en apparence. Quelle est la nature de l’opposition entre capital et travail ? Le libre-échange donne-t-il la clé de la prospérité ? Faut-il faire travailler l’homme ou la machine ? À quand la décroissance ? Ricardo élargit dramatiquement le diamètre du cercle de la raison économique : certaines réponses qu’il suggère risquent de vous surprendre.
