David Ricardo’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
David Ricardo was born in the Year of the Dragon. A powerful sign, those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dragon are energetic and warm-hearted, charismatic, lucky at love and egotistic. They’re natural born leaders, good at giving orders and doing what’s necessary to remain on top. Compatible with Monkey and Rat.
An English political thinker and writer, he is credited with such economic theories as the law of diminishing returns, the labor theory of value, and Ricardian equivalence. His famous work, On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, was published in 1817.
He began his career as a stockbroker. He later served in the House of Commons.

He grew up with sixteen siblings. He married Priscilla Anne Wilkinson, a Quaker, at age twenty-one, and soon thereafter converted to Unitarianism. As a result, his Jewish parents disowned him.
