Investopedia explains 'Say's Law Of Markets'

Say’s Law is named after the 18th-century French classical liberal economist Jean-Baptiste Say, who popularized the notion. Say was an advocate of laissez-faire economics and was heavily influenced by Adam Smith.

 

Say’s Law is frequently misinterpreted as “supply creates its own demand,” which is evidently false. If it were true, anyone could do whatever they wanted for a living and be successful at it.
