The Origins of the Law of Supply
and Demand
John Locke
Locke addressed the concept of supply and
demand as part of a discussion about interest
rates in 17th-century England but did not actually
use the term "supply and demand." Its first
appearance in print came in 1767, from Sir James
Steuart.
Sir James Steuart
Steuart's Inquiry into the Principles of Political
Economy, published in 1796, was the first known
printed use of the term "supply and demand."

The Origins of the Law of Supply
and Demand
Adam Smith
Father of Economics
Smith explained the concept of supply and
demand as an "invisible hand" that naturally guides
the economy.
Alfred Marshall
In 1890, Alfred Marshall's Principles of Economics
developed a supply-and-demand curve that is still
used to demonstrate the point at which the market
is in equilibrium.
20. The Origins of the Law of Supply
and Demand
Ibn Taymiyya
Islamic scholar Ibn Taymiyyah, who died 300
years before Locke's aforementioned publication,
has recorded writings about the law of supply and
demand, though he didn't use those exact terms.
He discussed how prices are determined by
demand and supply and not by the unjust actions
of people involved in the transaction.
