Abstract: This paper demonstrates Say’s adoption of a land-scarcity based growth model of the canonical variety, though neither consistently nor in its entirety. It also emerges that Say was at one with Ricardo on the ‘primacy’ of supply conditions in value determination. The evidence is drawn mainly from the Traité d’économie politique and the Cours complet raising the question why the canonical properties contained in readily available sources seem to have been generally overlooked.
