Abstract
Jean-Baptiste Say's Treatise on Political Economy (1803) is one of the founding texts of classical economics. Say systematized and clarified Adam Smith's ideas for the European continent, introduced the concept of the entrepreneur, and formulated Say's Law — the principle that production creates its own demand. His clear, elegant prose made economics accessible to a broad audience.
