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 commencement of war after a long peace, or of peace after a long war, generally produces considerable distress in trade. It changes in a great degree the nature of the employments to which the respective capitals of countries were before devoted; and during the interval while they are settling in the situations which new circumstances have made the most beneficial, much fixed capital is unemployed, perhaps wholly lost, and labourers are without full employment. The duration of this distress will be longer or shorter according to the strength of that disinclination, which most men feel to abandon that employment of their capital to which they have long been accustomed. It is often protracted too by the restrictions and prohibitions, to which the absurd jealousies which prevail between the different states of the commercial commonwealth give rise.

白话
长期和平后战争爆发,或长期战争后和平到来,通常会给贸易带来相当大的困难。这会在很大程度上改变各国资本原先投入的就业性质;在资本重新适应新情况、找到最有利用途的过渡期,大量固定资本闲置,甚至完全损失,工人也无法充分就业。这种困难的持续时间长短,取决于人们不愿放弃长期习惯的资本用途的强度。商业界不同国家间流行的荒谬猜忌所导致的限制和禁令,也常常延长这种困难。
上下文
