Principles of Political Economy Considered with a View to their Applications,[1] simply referred to as Principles of Political Economy, was written by the nineteenth-century British political economist Thomas Malthus in 1820.[2] Malthus wrote Principles of Political Economy as a rebuttal to David Ricardo's On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation.[3] While the main focus of their work is to explain economic depressions in Europe and the reasons why they occur,[3] Malthus uses his scholarship to explore price determination and the value of goods.[4]
