Abstract

Consequently, Cremaschi has short, succinct chapters on the Jewish, Quaker, and then Unitarian religious communities to which Ricardo sequentially belonged, as well as the budding geological community and then the various philosophers and political economists Ricardo interacted with, socially and intellectually. After all, Ricardo's contemporary, Henry Brougham, the esteemed First Baron Brougham and Vaux, famously wrote that Ricardo was "a man from another planet" (quoted p. 42). Cremaschi argues that Ricardo was not a utilitarian, and that statements that Ricardo was an atheist or agnostic are unsupported. [Extracted from the article]
