Abstract
If it is generally agreed that DeQuincey's economics
are not really his own, and if DeQuincey himself attributed
almost everything he wrote on the subject to Ricardian
theory, why is it that I have still chosen to pursue the
topic of DeQuincey's economic writings? In short, I am
motivated by a desire to explain three things: First, the
author's reason for delving into the realm of political
economy in the first place; second, DeQuincey's occasionally
perceptive and original comments on the subject; and
third, DeQuincey's highly entertaining means of communicating
and exemplifying the principles of Ricardian economics.
It is my hope that after reading this paper, one will have
greater insight into these interesting phenomena, as well
as a more complete understanding of the unique and often
bizarre character of Thomas DeQuincey.
