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
The effects produced on profits, would have been the same, or nearly the same, if there had been any rise in the price of those other necessaries, besides food, on which the wages of labour are expended. The necessity which the labourer would be under of paying an increased price for such necessaries, would oblige him to demand more wages; and whatever increases wages, necessarily reduces profits. But suppose the price of silks, velvets, furniture, and any other commodities, not required by the labourer, to rise in consequence of more labour being expended on them, would not that affect profits? certainly not: for nothing can affect profits but a rise in wages; silks and velvets are not consumed by the labourer, and therefore cannot raise wages.

白话
除食物外,其他必需品的涨价对利润影响相同。工人为买这些必需品要多花钱,就会要求更高工资;工资涨则利润降。但丝绸、天鹅绒、家具等工人不消费的奢侈品涨价,不会影响利润,因为工人不买,不会推高工资。核心:只有进入工人消费篮子的东西涨价才压利润;奢侈品涨价只影响其消费者,不改变工资与利润的分配。
上下文
李嘉图在《政治经济学及赋税原理》中区分必需品与奢侈品对工资和利润的不同影响。
今日一问
你所在行业的产品涨价,是推高了工人生活成本,还是只影响非必需消费?
