Abstract

Blanc and Tiran verify if it is possible to extend Jean-Baptiste Say’s (J.-B. Say) principle of utility to morality and to politics. They focus on documenting specific and little-known aspects of J.-B. Say’s political struggle (1793–1803). The chapter also draws attention to Say’s crucial intervention. In this chapter, Blanc and Tiran show that J.-B. Say is one of the founding fathers of French liberalism in terms of political theory and that his influence on the French liberal group under the Restoration was far greater than is generally thought. The whole of the liberal group is engaged in a consistent political struggle about all these issues. J.-B. Say conducted his struggle through his teaching at the Athénée, the publication of articles in magazines and above all his influence on Comte and Dunoyer. His obsession was the stabilization of the Republican political order.
