Jean-Baptiste Say (5 January 1767 – 15 November 1832) was a bourgeois economist. He based value on labour, capital, and land and claimed that the three classes in society (workers, capitalists, and landlords) each received the value that they produced. He also denied the existence of crises of overproduction.[1]
