Les innovations techniques et organisationnelles dans la fabrication des epingles

Abstract: Pins were made of brass from the Bronze Age to the nineteenth century. During this period in the Netherlands, in France and in the United Kingdom, the production processes greatly changed as well as the organisation of labour. Adam Smith chose this industry to link the specialisation of workers to their productive power. Based on this example, it is possible to study in concrete terms how innovations appear, are valued and circulate. JEL codes: O33
