A Treatise on Political Economy

Business owners, economists, managers, and those interested in finance will find Say's ideas enlightening and informative. French economist JEAN-BAPTISE SAY (1767-1832) believed in the open-market system, supporting fewer laws putting restraints on businesses. He edited a paper on economics and became part of the French government in 1799. He is best remembered for Say's Law, which states that "supply creates its own demand."
