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

Experience however shews, that the fancied or real insecurity of capital, when not under the immediate control of its owner, together with the natural disinclination which every man has to quit the country of his birth and connexions, and intrust himself with all his habits fixed, to a strange government and new laws, check the emigration of capital. These feelings, which I should be sorry to see weakened, induce most men of property to be satisfied with a low rate of profits in their own country, rather than seek a more advantageous employment for their wealth in foreign nations.

白话

核心是:资本不轻易跨国流动,因为人们担心资本不在自己控制下不安全,也舍不得离开出生地和熟悉的环境、习惯、法律。这些情感(李嘉图说他不希望它们减弱)使大多数有产者宁愿在本国接受较低的利润率,也不愿把财富投到国外去追求更高收益。所以,各国利润率不会因资本自由流动而迅速拉平。做法是:理解资本流动的心理和制度障碍,在分析国际贸易和投资时,不能假设资本会无摩擦地流向最优地点;同时,这些障碍也保护了本国资本和就业。

上下文

李嘉图解释为何现实中资本不会完全流向高利润国家,指出心理和制度因素的作用。

今日一问

你或你认识的人在做投资或职业选择时,是否也因为对陌生环境的不安而放弃了更高回报的机会?
