The structure of Say's economic writings

Philippe Steiner

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1998, vol. 5, issue 2, 227-249

Abstract: The present paper establishes a general picture of Say's economic thought. The first part provides a general view of Say's writings stressing his economic publications other than the Traite, and the non-economic publications covering two other realms of what was labelled the Sciences morales et politiques in France at that time. The second part is devoted to the Traite since this theoretical piece belonging to Classical political economy has a history throughout its various editions. Finally, the third part considers Say's second great book in economics, the Cours complet d'eeconomie politique pratique and explains the reasons why he wrote it.
