1817 ECONOMICS 1^st Italian ed Jean Baptiste SAY Finance Supply Demand Napoleon

 

“One product is always ultimately bought with another, even when paid for in the first instance with money.”

– Jean-Baptiste Say

 

Jean Baptiste Say was a French economist at the turn of the 18^th-century. He was an important figure in the development of competitive free trade in Europe. He is most well-known today for “Say’s Law” which is summed up as:

• “Aggregate supply creates its own aggregate demand”,
• “Supply creates its own demand”,
• “Supply constitutes its own demand”,
• “If you build it, they will come”,
• “Inherent in supply is the wherewithal for its own consumption”.

Say’s ‘Treaty of Political Economy’ is often considered the most important work of economic literature in the first half of the 19^th-century, next to ‘Wealth of Nations.’

 

This 1817 first Italian edition was published following the lift of Napoleon’s ban on printing this book in 1814.
