Supposing corn and manufactured goods always to sell at the same price, profits would be high or low in proportion as wages were low or high. But suppose corn to rise in price because more labour is necessary to produce it; that cause will not raise the price of manufactured goods in the production of which no additional quantity of labour is required. If then wages continued the same, profits would remain the same; but if, as is absolutely certain, wages should rise with the rise of corn, then profits would necessarily fall.

白话

假设谷物和工业品的售价始终不变,那么利润高低就取决于工资高低:工资低利润高,工资高利润低。但如果谷物因生产需要更多劳动而涨价,工业品因为不需要额外劳动,价格不会跟着涨。这时如果工资不变,利润也不变;可工资必然会随谷物涨价而上涨,于是利润就必然下降。核心是:工资上涨会挤压利润,而谷物涨价会推高工资。所以,关注谷物价格和工资变动对利润的影响,是理解收入分配的关键。

上下文

李嘉图《政治经济学及赋税原理》讨论工资、利润和地租的分配关系,这是古典经济学的核心议题。
