Jean-Baptiste Say idézet

Jean-Baptiste Say francia közgazdász, üzletember és újságíró, a klasszikus közgazdaságtan fontos képviselője.

Elsősorban az általa 1803-ban, Értekezés a politikai gazdaságtanról című főművében megfogalmazott Say-dogmáról ismert. Ezzel a dogmával, amely az aggregált kereslet és az aggregált kínálat azonosságát jelenti ki a gazdaságban, Say máig tartó hatást gyakorolt az elméleti közgazdaságtan világára.

A tudomány más kérdéseiben többnyire Adam Smith és más klasszikusok nézeteit osztotta, Ricardo munkaérték-elméletét viszont nem fogadta el, véleménye szerint a javak értékét nem a beléjük fektetett munka, hanem a jószágot fogyasztó egyénnek a javakra vonatkozó szubjektív hasznosságérzete határozza meg. A szubjektív hasznosság azzal a maximális pénzösszeggel mérhető, amit az egyén még hajlandó az adott jószágért kifizetni – ezt az összeget a mai közgazdászok rezervációs árnak nevezik. Hasonlóan tudtán kívül vezette be a határhaszon fogalmát is, amikor a „hasznos dolgok utolsó mennyiségének hasznosságá”-ról írt. A szubjektív hasznossággal kapcsolatos elméletei Sayt a neoklasszikus közgazdaságtan legfontosabb előfutárává tették. Wikipedia

Kontextus: A man who applies his labour to the investing of objects with value by the creation of utility of some sort, can not expect such a value to be appreciated and paid for, unless where other men have the means of purchasing it. Now, of what do these means consist? Of other values of other products, likewise the fruits of industry, capital, and land. Which leads us to a conclusion that may at first appear paradoxical, namely, that it is production which opens a demand for products.
