David Ricardo: Father
built 657 days ago
David Ricardo's genius was illustrated in both the practical world of affairs and in the realm of ideas. Disinherited by his wealthy Jewish father for marrying a Quaker at the age of 21, Ricardo and his bride joined the Unitarian church, which at the time was viewed as a radical sect.

Ricardo rejected the orthodox Jewish beliefs of his family and eloped with a Quaker, Priscilla Anne Wilkinson, when he was 21. His father was so unhappy with this that he abandoned Ricardo and never spoke to him again. Around the same time Ricardo became a Utilitarian.
