Abstract

Mr. Malthus appears to understand, by his short phrase, 'the principle of demand and supply' some thing different from what I should, as a reader of Smith only, have understood it to mean: I should have said, it meant that principle, which tends to bring the respective prices of things into such a state as will equalize, as nearly as is possible, the profits, Sic., obtained in the production of each. But that principle does not then determine, what that state is.

需求和史密斯的价格理论:一个反驳

马尔萨斯先生似乎对"供需原则"的理解有所不同，因为我只是一个斯密的读者，我应该这样理解它的意思:我应该说，它的意思是这样一种原则，它倾向于使事物的各自价格达到一种状态，使利润尽可能接近于相等。，在生产中获得。但是这个原则并不能决定，那个状态是什么。

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
