You're right. We should also throw out Aristotle and Plato. We should reconsider their ideas based on new information. Or are we to worship Zeus and Hera?

Of course not. I'm just saying that you shouldn't dismiss ideas just because they're old. If you can point out some assumptions Ricardo maked about the world that were true back then but not now, that's good. But the age of an idea shouldn't be relevant.

Or are we to worship Zeus and Hera? No, we are to worship Mammon, and his high priests are Soros, Khodorkovsky, Skilling and other reform minded oligarchs.
