   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.

   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
