SAY (Jean-Baptiste): Traité d'économie politique, or simple exposition of the manner in which wealth is formed, distributed and consumed. Cinquième édition, augmentée d'un volume et à laquelle se trouvent joints un épitome des principes fondamentaux de l'économie politique, et un index raisonné des matières. Paris, Rapilly, 1826. 3 volumes. 12 by 20 cm. (4)-CVIII-385 ; (4)-III-(1)-408; (4)-435 pages + 1 folding table. h.t. Contemporary full shagreened basane, decorated smooth spines, red title-pieces. Small leather chips on 1 cover and 1 hinge. Scattered foxing. 5th edition (E.O 1803) It is a "fundamental error that vitiates the appreciation of Say's place in the history of economics, namely, the current interpretation of his relationship to A. Smith. Say's work continues the Cantillon-Turgot tradition. The most important aspect of his work is his great contribution to analytical economics, and his conception of economic equilibrium, albeit vaguely and imperfectly formulated. Say's work is the most important link in the chain that leads us from Cantillon and Turgot to Walras." (Schumpeter).

SAY, Jean-Baptiste. Traité d'économie politique, ou simple exposition de la manière dont se forment, se distribuent, et se consomment les richesses. Paris, De l'Imprimede dei Crapelet - Chez Deterville, 1803 2 volumes in 8vo. 195x115 mm. Coeval half leather and marbled pink hardback binding, titles and tome number in two gussets on spine with gold friezes, marbled guard sheets. Tome I: pages [4, including Eye and Title], XLVI, 527, 1 blank. Tome II: pages [4, including Occhietto and Title], 572. Traces of gore but overall good copy. First edition. This is Say's most important book, one of the great works of economic thought of the classical period. Besides Smith's The Wealth of Nations, whose doctrine Say expounded from an early age, it proved to be the most popular work on economics in the first half of the 19th century. Palgrave: "It was the first really popular treatise on political economy ever published in France; its main divisions and his terminology have become classical and have served as a model for innumerable subsequent treatises." Despite early claims that his work was derived from Smith, it has long been shown that Say ranks on par with Sismondi and Cournot in the originality of his contributions to economic theory. Schumpeter calls his work, "the most important of the links in the chain that leads from Cantillon and Turgot to Walras. "The work was not republished until 1814, in part because of Napoleon's hostility to Say, but from then on it had 32 editions.Carpenter XXXIII (1); Einaudi 5118; En français dans le texte, 207; INED 4110; Mattioli 3236; Niehans, 110-15; Palgrave, III, p. 357; Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, pp. 492-93. 2 volumes in 8vo. 195x115 mm. Contemporary quarte leather binding and marbled pink hardback, titles and volume number in two labels on the spine with gilt decorations, marbled endpapers. Volume I: pages [4, including half-title and title], XLVI, 527, 1 blank. Volume II: pages [4, including half-title and title], 572. Traces of dampstain, but overall a good copy. First edition.
