There can be no doubt that division of labour is a way of organising work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but it’s a pity he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour adds nothing new；it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.

　　【文章大意】 本文介绍Adam Smith首先提出劳动分工的重要性并解释其优越性，但遗憾的是他想当然认为劳动分工就自然会加快经济增长，促进经济发展。
