To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ricardo seems, however, to have considerable difficulty to meet, when applying his theory to the case of a bad harvest. It has been found, a that when any article of vital importance, such as corn, becomes scarce, its value, when compared with other commodities, rises more than in proportion to the diminution of the quantity. We should, therefore, expect, that a larger quantity of a cur- rency such as ours, consisting of pieces of bullion of full weight, would be required when our har- vest is ...bad. Mr. Ricardo seems to get over this difficulty by supposing that even money of this kind is but a sign of value, and that the prices of commodities reckoned in such a currency, depend as completely upon the number of pieces, with- out any reference to their intrinsic value, as if those pieces were mere paper. It is only on this supposition that there appears any possibility of a History of Prices, vol. I. , p. 13.
115 considering that prices depend upon a compa- rison of the whole number of pieces with the whole of the commodities, and that a destruction of part of the commodities necessarily raises the price of the remainder.
