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 power of the labourer to support himself, and the family which may be necessary to keep up the number of labourers, does not depend on the quantity of money, which he may receive for wages; but on the quantity of food, necessaries, and conveniences become essential to him from habit, which that money will purchase. The natural price of labour, therefore, depends on the price of the food, necessaries, and conveniences required for the support of the labourer and his family. With a rise in the price of food and necessaries, the natural price of labour will rise; with the fall in their price, the natural price of labour will fall.

白话

劳动者养活自己和家庭的能力,不取决于他得到的货币工资数量,而取决于这些货币能买到多少食物、必需品和习惯上不可或缺的便利品。因此,劳动的自然价格取决于维持劳动者及其家庭所需食物、必需品和便利品的价格。食物和必需品价格上涨,劳动的自然价格就上升;价格下跌,劳动的自然价格就下降。

上下文

李嘉图在《政治经济学及赋税原理》中进一步解释劳动的自然价格由生活资料的价格决定,而非货币工资的多少。

今日一问

当物价上涨时,你的实际购买力如何变化?货币工资的调整是否跟上了生活成本?
