Routledge Money and Banking in Jean-Baptiste Say's Thought

This scholarly work provides English-language readers with essential access to the primary texts of Jean-Baptiste Say regarding money and banking. For many years, these specific writings remained inaccessible to those reading in English, creating a gap in the study of economic history. This volume bridges that gap by offering a comprehensive translation of Say's main works on these subjects. The collection is carefully curated to include chapters from his books, accounting for the differences found across various editions. It also incorporates specific articles and previously unpublished manuscripts, offering a complete view of his economic perspective. To help readers navigate these complex texts, the book includes an introduction that places the writings within their proper historical and economic context. Researchers and students of economic history will find the included chronological table highly useful. This table tracks the main events of Say's life and editorial work alongside significant political, economic, and monetary developments. This resource is an important addition to the Routledge Studies in the History of Economics series, making the foundational ideas of Say available for modern academic study and historical analysis.
