Das Werk gehört zweifellos zu den „Klassikern“ der Nationalökonomie. Im Gegensatz zu Adam Smith geht David Ricardo nicht mehr von unbegrenzten wirtschaftlichen Wachstum aus, sondern von wirtschaftlichem Stillstand. Seine Theorie: Weder Kapitalgeber noch Arbeiter profitieren am meisten von gesellschaftlichem Wohlstand - stattdessen können sich vor allem die Eigner von Grund und die Renditen einstreichen. Ricardo setzte auf den Gebieten Geldtheorie, Steuerpolitik und Werttheorie für die Wirtschaftswissenschaft neue Maßstäbe.
