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.
