Item description from seller

First edition, 8vo, vi, 601, (1) pp. Contemporary black half calf, a little rubbed, covers very slightly damp stained and bowed, gilt spine and red label. "The Principles had only a limited impact at the time. more recently it has received greater recognition, largely as a result of the comments by J. M. Keynes in the 1930s. Keynes argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment, and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove, the world would be a much wiser and richer place." (ODNB). Goldsmiths 22767. Kress C577.
