Jean Sismondi
Jean Sismondi was a Swiss economist and historian born in 1773, recognized for his critical perspectives on classical economics and the implications of industrialization. His notable work, written in the early 19th century, warned of the dangers of overproduction and the potential for economic stagnation. Sismondi argued that technical progress could lead to a surplus of goods that outpaced demand, thereby creating economic crises. His ideas contributed to the early foundations of both socialist thought and critiques of laissez-faire economics, making him a significant figure in the evolution of economic theory.
