Born in London, Ricardo was the third of seventeen children in a Sephardic Jewish family (from Portugal) that emigrated from the Netherlands to England just prior to his birth.
Ricardo rejected the orthodox Jewish beliefs of his family and eloped with a Quaker, Abigail Delvalle, when he was 21, leading to estrangement from his close family.
In 1819, Ricardo took a seat in the British parliament as a representative of Portarlington, a borough of Ireland.
Ricardo was also concerned with the subject of international trade, and for that he developed the theory of comparative advantage, still widely accepted among economists.
Ricardo was essentially a classical economist in the tradition of Adam Smith, but he expanded Smith's vision to forecast an eventual end to economic growth owing to the difficulty of increasing food production to keep up with population growth.
Ricardo rejected the orthodox Jewish beliefs of his family and eloped with a Quaker, Priscilla Anne Wilkinson, when he was 21, leading to estrangement from his close family.
