Rent, frequently absorbs not only the surplus product, but even a part of the necessary product of the tenant, Rent, from an absolute point of view, is a result of an increased investment of capital in the soil, regardless of whether productivity increases, falls, or remains constant, with rising, fall- ing or constant prices, 827.

Ricardo. his conception of ground rent assumes that it arises only from a suc- cession to worse soil, 772. Ricardo, his definition of rent, 7bU. Ricardo, holds that the value of metal- lic money is determined by the labor time incorporated in it, so long as the quantity of money is rightly pro- portioned to the quantity and prices of commodities, 642. • j » • i Ricardo's assumption that industrial profit plus interest pockets the entire profit, is historically false, 28j.
