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
Money, from its being a commodity obtained from a foreign country, from its being the general medium of exchange between all civilized countries, and from its being also distributed among those countries in proportions which are ever changing with every improvement in commerce and machinery, and with every increasing difficulty of obtaining food and necessaries for an increasing population, is subject to incessant variations. In stating the principles which regulate exchangeable value and price, we should carefully distinguish between those variations which belong to the commodity itself, and those which are occasioned by a variation in the medium in which value is estimated, or price expressed.

白话
货币作为从外国获得的商品、文明国家间的通用交换媒介,其分布随商业和机器改进、人口增长导致的食品获取难度变化而不断变动,因此货币价值持续波动。在阐述交换价值和价格原理时,必须仔细区分哪些变化属于商品本身,哪些源于价值估量或价格表现的媒介变动。混淆两者会导致错误结论。例如,工资上涨可能只是货币贬值的结果,而非劳动相对于商品变贵。因此,分析经济现象时,要剥离货币幻觉,关注商品之间的相对关系。
上下文
李嘉图讨论货币作为可变商品的性质,强调在分析价格时需区分商品自身变化与货币变化。
今日一问
你能否举例说明,哪些价格变化其实是货币现象,而非商品本身的价值变化?
