Jean-Baptiste Say (1767-1832) was one of the first great economists
to have laid down the foundations of economic science. Author of
the famous Treatise on Political Economy in 1803, which was revised
and re-edited on several occasions, he published numerous other
works including a voluminous Complete Course in Practical Political
Economy in 1828-9. He also taught political economy successively
from 1815 until his death in three Parisian establishments: the
Athenee, the Conservatory of Arts and Trades, and the College de
France. The texts in which Say exposes his approach to political
economy have not been available in the English language until now
except for the fourth edition of the 'Preliminary Discourse' which
serves as an introduction to the Treatise. This book presents a
translation which renders his works accessible to the English
speaking world. For the first time, English readers will be able to
become directly immersed in Say's principal texts, where he
develops his conception of political economy. Jean-Baptiste Say and
Political Economy proposes a translation of a selection of eleven
of Say's texts. The first three are versions of the 'Preliminary
Discourse' from the Treatise's editions of 1803, 1814 and 1826 with
the variations of the editions of 1817, 1819 and 1841. The
following four texts are the opening discourses pronounced at the
Conservatory in 1820 and 1828 and the College de France in 1831 and
1832. The eighth text is the 'General Considerations' which open
the Complete Course in Practical Political Economy of 1828, with
the variations of the 1840 re-edition. The final three texts are
those Say devotes to 'the progress of political economy' in what is
akin to a history of economic thought. This volume is of great
importance to economic historians and people studying Jean-Baptiste
Say, as well as those who are interested in economic theory and
philosophy and political economy.
