first edition. A table brochure in Volume I. The seventh volume, published posthumously in 1833: Mix and match political economy, is a choice of correspondence Say to Ricardo, Malthus, Dupont de Nemours ... We rarely find this volume connected uniformly with the Course .

First of all, and in his first work, which was a great success: Treatise on political economy in 1803, Jean-Baptiste Say vulgarizes the work of his English comparator Adam Smith, of whom he was a disciple. He was undoubtedly a great teacher, and these courses retrace his lessons at the Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, where he was appointed in 1820 as a professor of political economy. He is the father of ultra-liberalism and his law of outlets, or Say's law, asserts that every offer creates its own demand, with Laissez-faire being everywhere the best solutions. In this sense, he will go further than Smith and as supply theorist, will later be criticized by Keynes. In addition, Say is one of the main responsible for the constitution of the economy as a distinct human science. Unlike Ricardo, it tends towards a "practical" economy, based on figures and studies. We will read with interest the chapter on the Reimbursement of the public debt, a crucial concern of every nation today.
