Of Pins and Things

Gavin Kennedy ()

Chapter 26 in Adam Smith’s Lost Legacy, 2005, pp 115-118 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Smith is famous for his account of a pin factory. So famous, in fact, that the pin factory, the division of labour and the extent of the market are practically synonymous with his name. Let me lay this myth to rest.
