Description
1836 ECONOMICS Political Economy Jean-Baptiste SAY Production Wealth Capitalism
“A Treatise on Political Economy” is a historically influential work on industrial economics penned by Jean-Baptiste Say, a prominent French economist. Originally titled “Traité D'économie Politique” in French, the book delves into the intricate nuances of political economy, examining the mechanisms of wealth production, its distribution, and consumption.
The English editions underwent several adaptations, the most notable being by Charles Robert Prinsep, M.A. who translated it from Say’s fourth French edition. Clement Cornell Biddle, LL.D., provided additional insights with his introduction and notes. Due to the book’s immense popularity in America, this “New American Edition” was published with the aim to make the content more relatable and understandable for American readers. This adaptation included converting French units of measure to American ones, either through precise conversion or by using approximate equivalents. Furthermore, Biddle’s added notes offered the latest statistical data from both Europe and the U.S., providing readers with up-to-date insights.
