Chapter 1 Of The Division of Labor Adam Smith’s Chapter 1 of the Wealth of Nations begins by stating that the greatest improvements in the productive power of labor lie in the division of labor. Even in the production of very simple products‚ division of labor always increases productivity exponentially. Adam Smith offers three reasons on how the quantity of work increases.
