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
I have already said, that long before this state of prices was become permanent, there would be no motive for accumulation; for no one accumulates but with a view to make his accumulation productive, and it is only when so employed that it operates on profits. Without a motive there could be no accumulation, and consequently such a state of prices never could take place. The farmer and manufacturer can no more live without profit, than the labourer without wages. Their motive for accumulation will diminish with every diminution of profit, and will cease altogether when their profits are so low as not to afford them an adequate compensation for their trouble, and the risk which they must necessarily encounter in employing their capital productively.

白话
李嘉图说,在这种价格状态持久之前,积累动机早已消失。人们积累是为让资本生利,只有投入生产才影响利润。无动机则不积累,故这种状态不会出现。农场主和制造商没利润活不了,就像工人没工资活不了。利润越低,积累动机越弱;利润低到不足以补偿辛劳和风险时,积累完全停止。核心:利润是积累的动力,利润消失则资本主义生产停滞。

如果一项事业利润低到无法补偿你的付出和风险,你还会继续投入吗?
