Answer:

Opium (or poppy tears, scientific name: Lachryma papaveris) is dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. Approximately 12 percent of opium is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for the illegal drug trade.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Según David Ricardo, el proceso productivo no es un proceso natural ya que la naturaleza no es generosa con el hombre, a no ser que este la convierta en productiva y la adecue a sus intereses. En otras palabras, la renta surgía en un país no a causa de la liberalidad de la naturaleza sino de la avaricia, por lo tanto, la riqueza implicaba la pobreza de unos y el enriquecimiento de otros. Lo anterior significa que la acumulación de capital no es el nacimiento de una nueva riqueza sino el empobrecimiento de otros, porque  LO QUE GANABAN LOS TERRATENIENTES EN LA TIERRA LO PERDÍAN QUIENES TRABAJABAN EN ELLA.

Explanation:

David Ricardo fue un economista británico. Quizás su contribución más importante a la ciencia económica fue la ley de la ventaja comparativa, un argumento fundamental a favor del libre comercio entre países. Ricardo argumentó que el comercio (o intercambio) era beneficioso para ambas partes involucradas, incluso si una de las partes (por ejemplo, un país rico en recursos) era más productivo en cada área que su socio comercial (por ejemplo, un país pobre en recursos), siempre que ambas partes se concentraran en eso actividades donde tenían una ventaja relativa de productividad.

Ahora bien, estas ventajas no eran equitativamente distribuidas entre sus productores a distintos niveles: según su teoría de la renta diferencial, la renta de la producción económica se distribuía de forma desigual, siendo mayor para quien menos producía (el terrateniente), mientras el trabajador, que era el principal productor de riqueza, recibía una pequeña porción de esta. De esta forma, Ricardo interpretaba la renta de la tierra como el principal factor de riqueza de su época.
