David Ricardo《On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation》· On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation · Investing
Suppose that to afford the usual and general profits of stock, the price of corn should in England be 4_l._ per quarter; it could not then be exported to foreign countries where it sold for 3_l._ 15_s._ per quarter. But if a bounty of 10_s._ per quarter were given on exportation, it could be sold in the foreign market at 3_l._ 10_s._, and consequently the same profit would be afforded to the corn grower, whether he sold it at 3_l._ 10_s._ in the foreign, or at 4_l._ in the home market.
