Described in two books by CEO Ricardo Semler: The Seven-Day Weekend and Maverick.

That's a pretty interesting read too, about unconventional but successful and people-friendly company management techniques that Ricardo sort of pioneered with his company people.

Does anyone know how this relates to Ricardo Semler's efforts with Semco?

I applaud Ricardo Dominguez for his effort and for standing up to save human lives.

David Ricardo didn't live to see cars and two hour commutes.

That's exactly how it supposedly works at Ricardo Semler's companies.

Russell Wilson also lead Ricardo Lockette (his receiver) just a bit too much with the throw and Lockette doesn't break up Butler's interception as hard as he could have.

As Ricardo Semler puts it, we've all mastered the art of checking our work email on a Saturday evening, but few of us have mastered the art of going to watch a movie on Tuesday afternoon.

The OP and the comments in this thread, remind me vaguely of the book "Maverick" by Ricardo Semmler about his company Semco.

"Ricardo's Difficult Idea" is an essay that provides a good online education in economics and why trade makes everyone richer, as demonstrated not just by history but also by mathematics.

Of course, it ends up with strange problems, where "Wrath of Khan", which has the Indian character Khan Noonien Singh (played by the Mexican actor Ricardo Montalbán) on the movie poster, so doesn't count as a white, straight, male movie.

In the time of Smith and Ricardo, farms and the land were the source of all wealth.

Ricardo, of course, was thinking of the English side of the exchange but the analysis is perfectly symmetrical; it implies that Portugal will gain from specialising on wine and importing cloth.

That underlying discrepancy distorts the market and prevents Ricardo's comparative advantage from being done.
