大卫·李嘉图《政治经济学及赋税原理》· On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation · 投资
It may be said that I have taken it for granted, that money wages would rise with a rise in the price of raw produce, but that this is by no means a necessary consequence, as the labourer may be contented with fewer enjoyments. It is true that the wages of labour may previously have been at a high level, and that they may bear some reduction. If so, the fall of profits will be checked; but it is impossible to conceive that the money price of wages should fall, or remain stationary with a gradually increasing price of necessaries; and therefore it may be taken for granted that, under ordinary circumstances, no permanent rise takes place in the price of necessaries, without occasioning, or having been preceded by a rise in wages.

白话
有人可能反驳:你假定货币工资会随原材料价格上涨而上涨,但工人若愿意少享受些,工资未必涨。李嘉图承认,工资原先若偏高,确可压缩而不涨。但必需品价格持续上涨时,货币工资不可能下降或不变;否则工人买不起必需品。所以通常情况是:必需品价格持久上涨,要么引起工资上涨,要么此前工资已涨。核心是:工资必须跟上必需品价格,否则劳动力无法维持。
上下文
李嘉图《政治经济学及赋税原理》讨论工资、利润与地租关系,回应工资可能不随物价上涨的质疑。
