Abstract: The paper is a book review of Sergio Cremaschi's David
Ricardo. An Intellectual Biography, published in 2022. It argues that
Cremaschi's book testifies to the difficulty of applying intellectual
history to the biographical genre, which is concerned with the portrait of
an individual rather than the picture of a milieu. The paper nevertheless
concludes that the book will be read with pleasure by all those who admire
in Ricardo the fascinating economist that was also a gracious person.

Abstract: For papers to have scientific impact, they need to impress our
peers in their role as referees, journal editors, and members of conference
committees. Does better writing help our papers make it past these
gatekeepers? In this study, we estimate the effect of writing quality by
comparing how 30 economists judge the quality of papers written by PhD
students in economics. Each economist judged five papers in their original
version and five different papers that had been language edited. No
economist saw both versions of the same paper. Our results show that
writing matters. Compared to the original versions, economists judge edited
versions as higher quality; they are more likely to accept edited versions
for a conference; and they believe that edited versions have a better
chance of being accepted at a good journal.
Keywords: academic writing, writing quality, economics, randomized

Abstract: The purpose of the chapter is to challenge two widely-held
myths about Ricardo's theory of money and to suggest another view in which
the relationship between the value and the quantity of money owes nothing
to a commodity-theory of money (Section 2) or to the Quantity Theory of
Money (Section 3) but puts the market price of the standard of money
centre-stage (Section 4). Ricardo's applied pronouncements on money then
appear as direct consequences of this theory (Section 5).
Keywords: Ricardo David, Money, Standard of money, Quantity theory of
money, Monetary policy
