Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

David Ricardo, in his theory of rent, argued that the rent of land is high because the price of agricultural produce (such as grain) is high. This is because land of different qualities will produce different yields, and as demand for grain increases, more marginal lands are brought into cultivation, increasing the cost of production and thus the price of grain, which in turn increases the rent of more fertile lands.
