Some Useful Historical Stats on the Division of Labour

Some interesting facts and stats about the division of labour from Smith’s day is posted by Professor Mike Munger at the Division of Labour Blog and you should read and file them.

He has done some sterling work on the subject – I used some of his stats on my Lost Legacy postings on the Bank of England £20 note fiasco (scroll down this week’s entries). They will also support lectures on Adam Smith and his presentation of the division of labour.
