This review is from: Say's Law: An Historical Analysis (Hardcover)

This is a very advanced and difficult book about one of the most misunderstood economic principles. Now normally I would think Thomas Sowell would be the best person to describe this topic in simple and logical language. I think he tried but this book is simply not for the general economic reader. Sowell has had so many great contributions to economic readers but this book is dealing with a topic that should be easier to explain. I believe Sowell used the topic of Say's law in his dissertation for his Phd. I did enjoy Sowell's analysis of other economic greats and what they thought about Say and that is where this book gets very dense. You should a very good background on classic economists and also Marx and Keynes to truly respect this book. In summary, tough read even if you love Sowell's books.
