Abstract
David Ricardo expuso su argumento en favor del comercio internacional
hace dos siglos en un contexto de rápido cambio tecnológico y fricciones
sociopolíticas. Más allá de las simplificaciones frecuentes, las conexiones entre
los debates sobre comercio internacional y los impactos sobre la distribución
de los ingresos ocupaban un lugar central en sus planteamientos, así como el
papel del comercio como factor de un crecimiento cuyos efectos distributivos
asimismo eran centrales. En la actualidad muchas de esas controversias están
presentes con fuerza. Este artículo examina algunos de los problemas más
actuales del comercio internacional tratando de sacar partido de algunos de
los mensajes de Ricardo que en algunos casos resultan ser de más interés y
matices de lo se desprende de que versiones simplificadoras
David Ricardo presented his argument in favour of international trade two centuries ago in a context of rapid technological change and socio-political frictions. Beyond frequent simplifications, the connections between the controversies on international trade and the impacts on the distribution of income occupied a central place in their approaches, as well as the role of trade as a factor of growth whose distributive effects were also central. Nowadays many of these controversies are strongly present. This paper examines some of the most current problems of international trade trying to take advantage of some of Ricardo’s insights that in many cases turn out to be of more interest and nuances than can be inferred from simplifying versions
