Abstract

It should be remembered, first of all, that under his training as a young merchant, Jean-Baptiste Say spent two years with his younger brother Horace, near London in Croydon. In 1786, he moved to Britain to learn the practice of English commercial business. This happened in the midst of the development of manufacturing in the UK when the introduction of mechanical looms gave a great boost to the whole industrial activity. It is clear that this first experiment in an expanding industrial environment, which lasted two years, deeply influenced the young J.-B. Say who was gifted with an inquisitive mind and a talent of observation. Another element that makes J.-B. Say a competent expert to analyze the economic situation in England and identify the strengths and lessons for France lies in his experience as an entrepreneur in the creation of the spinning company in Auchy (France) in 1805. JEL Codes : B12
