5. “Division of labour has caused a
greater increase in production than
any other factor.
This diversification
is greatest for nations with
more industry and improvement”

6. “ten persons, therefore, could make among them upwards of
forty-eight thousand pins in a day. Each person, therefore, making
a tenth part of forty-eight thousand pins, might be considered as
making four thousand eight hundred pins in a day. But if they had
all wrought separately and independently, and without any of them
having been educated to this peculiar business, they
certainly could not each of them have made
twenty, perhaps not one pin in a day; that is,
certainly, not the two hundred and
fortieth, perhaps not the four thousand
eight hundredth part of what they are at
present capable of performing, in consequence
of a proper division and combination of their different operations”
Adam Smith
