By using the term "the division of labor" I did not intend to imply its
simple-minded form in Book II of Plato's REPUBLIC or in Smith's pin factory
example. The "sequencing of tasks" conception captures the essence of the
idea. It applies to one person preparing dinner as well as to the division
of knowledge within an entire economy. George Reisman ably covers this in
his CAPITALISM.
