A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.
A scientific law is the description of a recurring event that occurs in nature. A scientific theory is an explanation of the law. The law does not change, but the theory may change when new data indicate that it needs to.
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
David Ricardo's theory called the Iron Law of Wages came to be called the Theory of Efficiency of Wages. The Iron Law of Wages says that the worker is going to be paid the minimum wage needed to survive.

The Iron Law of Wages was first proposed by Ferdinand Lassalle. It is a law of economics that states that wages always tend toward the minimum amount necessary to sustain the life of the worker.
Population goes through cycles according to iron law and wages.

David Ricardo's "iron law of wages" basically states that parents would have more children if wages were raised. These children would then expand the number of workers and lower wages as they entered the labor market. Then, wages would fall and the workers would have fewer children. The process would then start over as wages would once again rise. He used this logic to advocate that wages would always tend toward a minimum level in the long run, hence the "iron law of wages" with static, unchanging wages. Many employers used this argument to support their natural reluctance to raise wages. This "iron law of wages" was also used to provide theoretical support for opposing labor unions.

The Theory of Wages was created in 1932.
