Readings in the economics of the division of labor. The classical tradition
"Study of the progressive division of labor is a burgeoning industry in economics in recent years. Classical authors, dating back as early as 500 B.C., have made insightful analyses on the determinants and implications of the division of labor. Unfortunately these writings are rather scattered and not readily accessible. This important book aims to fill this void, serving as a valuable source of reference for scholars interested in the economics of specialization."--Jacket
