Description

First Edition, Uncommon

The first edition of this uncommon work.

In the original French.

Jean-Baptiste Say's series of five letters written in response to Thomas Robert Malthus' 'Principles of Political Economy'.

In this work, Say defends the theories he has put forth in his 1803 'Traite d'Economie Politique', which he says Malthus misrepresented in favour of Jean Charles Leonard de Sismondi's views on "general glut". Say's letters show an interesting view of the debate on the law of markets and their opponents.

Jean-Baptiste Say was an eminent French economist who is known for his Say's law, also known as the law of markets.
