In 1825, he became a member of the improvement council of the École spéciale de commerce et d'industrie, one of the first business schools in the world, and now (as École supérieure de commerce de Paris ESCP) regarded as the world's oldest business school.[6] However, as the French scholar Adrien Jean-Guy Passant reveals, Jean-Baptiste Say is not the founder of this business school.[7] In 1831, he was made professor of political economy at the Collège de France.
