Ricardo énonce la théorie des avantages comparatifs : tout pays a intérêt à être libre-échangiste même si un pays a un avantage absolu sur tous les autres pays dans tous les domaines. Le pays se spécialise dans la production où il possède un avantage relatif, c'est-à-dire là où il est relativement le meilleur ou le moins mauvais. Il faut savoir renoncer à ses avantages les plus faibles pour tirer parti de ses avantages les plus forts. 4, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20des%20avantages%20comparatifs

Según la teoría de la ventaja comparativa, aunque un país no tenga ventaja absoluta en la producción de ningún bien, le conviene especializarse en la producción de aquellas mercancías para las que su desventaja sea menor, y el país que tenga ventaja absoluta en la producción de todos los bienes debe especializarse en la producción de aquellos cuya ventaja sea mayor. 4, record 1, Spanish, - teor%C3%ADa%20de%20la%20ventaja%20comparativa
