Does Say's Law mean we can always sell what we produce?
This is a common misunderstanding. My law does not suggest that every specific product will find a buyer at any price. Temporary gluts of particular goods can and do occur when production is mismatched to consumer desires or when credit is mismanaged. However, a *general* overproduction of all goods simultaneously is a logical impossibility, as the very act of producing goods creates the purchasing power to acquire other goods.
