Abstract

[eng] J.B. Say's conception of the state dépens on the transformation of individual interests in the superior form of enlightenned interests. In such a perspective, the state has a real importance as it can further the development of enlightenment and build a system of good laws. So, there is a strong bond in Say's social economy between economic and political liberalism ; the second one being mainly directed against the administrative complex and not against the governement stricto sensu. [fre] La position de Say vis-à-vis de l'État demande à ce que l'on sache comment s'opère le passage des intérêts sinistres aux intérêts éclairés. Dans cette perspective Say accorde une positivité certaine à l'action de l'État qui se voit chargé de promouvoir cette transformation par la diffusion des lumières et la mise en place de bonnes lois. Un lien est ainsi fait entre le libéralisme économique et le libéralisme politique, ce dernier s'attachant plus à la limitation de l'administration que de celle du gouvernement au sens strict.
