On Torrens's theory of profits
研究托伦斯在1810-1820年代基于资本与产品物理同质性假设的利润理论，该理论源自李嘉图的“谷物比率”理论，并批评了S. Hollander和T. Peach的相关观点。
This paper is about the presence in Torrens's works of the 1810s and 1820s of a theory of profits based on an assumption of physical homogeneity between capital and product--a theory that derived from the "corn ratio" theory of profits put forward by Ricardo in 1814-15. Some views about Torrens's theory and its Ricardian origin held by S. Hollander and T. Peach are also briefly discussed and are shown not to be well founded, and not to take into account correctly the evolution of Torrens's views on distribution.
