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
In one and the same country, profits are, generally speaking, always on the same level; or differ only as the employment of capital may be more or less secure and agreeable. It is not so between different countries. If the profits of capital employed in Yorkshire, should exceed those of capital employed in London, capital would speedily move from London to Yorkshire, and an equality of profits would be effected; but if in consequence of the diminished rate of production in the lands of England, from the increase of capital and population, wages should rise, and profits fall, it would not follow that capital and population would necessarily move from England to Holland, or Spain, or Russia, where profits might be higher.

白话
在同一国家内，利润一般趋于同一水平，只因资本的安全和舒适程度略有差异。国与国之间则不同。如果约克郡的利润高于伦敦，资本会迅速从伦敦流向约克郡，利润趋于相等；但如果英国因资本和人口增加、土地产出下降，导致工资上涨、利润下降，资本和人口却不会因此自动流向利润可能更高的荷兰、西班牙或俄国。因为资本在国内流动容易，跨国流动却受种种障碍限制。
上下文
李嘉图讨论利润均等化在国内与跨国之间的差别，解释资本流动的障碍。
