Removed this sentence, creates confusion since there is no justification: "The argument referred to as Say's Law was heavily criticised by John Maynard Keynes and Keynesian economists."

I'm not sure I see the problem - my own take is that Keynes singled out Say's Law for special attention, and a large part of Keynes' career rested on points that are direct contradictions of Say's law. My Alt Account 00:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

There really should be a "criticisms" section for this article, since Say's Law has been panned by so many economists. I remember seeing a video course on PBS which tore into it using Keynesian theory. Also, a "criticisms" section helps to foster deeper understanding of these such issues, as it helps shed light on a vigorous and, in some ways, continuing debate among intellectuals. 72.92.26.177 02:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
