➤ How does Ricardo’s comparative advantage differ from Smith’s absolute advantage?
Smith’s absolute advantage looks at who produces more with the same inputs. Ricardo’s comparative advantage compares opportunity costs across goods. A country can lack absolute efficiency yet trade profitably because it sacrifices less of other goods to produce one item. This shift explains specialization and mutual gains more precisely than absolute measures.
