This book provides, for the first time, a systematic and
comprehensive narrative of the history of one central idea in
economics, namely the division of labour, over the past two and a
half millennia, with special focus on that having occurred in the
most recent two and a half centuries. Quite contrary to the widely
held belief, the idea has a fascinating biography, much richer than
that exemplified by the pin-making story that was popularized by
Adam Smith's classical work published in 1776.
