Wealth of Nations: Division of Labor

in Wealth of Nations

In every other art and manufacture, the effects of the division of labour are similar to what they in this very trifling one [the manufacture of pins]; though, in many of them, the labour can neither be so much subdivided, nor reduced to so great a simplicity of operation.

Another brief post courtesy of Adam Smith.

Do you suppose a division of labor in restoration would make it more amenable to entrepreneurship?
