摘要：

This note examines Ricardo's views on absolute and relative value in terms of the labor theory of value. It discusses why Ricardo viewed the construction of a standard of value capable of measuring changes in the absolute value of commodities as critical to understanding the division of the national product among the main contending classes in a competitive capitalist economy. The paper also highlights the shortcomings of Ricardo's proposed standard measure of value - one that would challenge and confound him all his life.
