An old file, and an old idea I had, to quote at length several passages that were crucial to forming my own understanding of what the "division of labour" is. I have a new script to redo this episode without the long and tedious quotes, so you can expect that soon. This was the first episode of the podcast I ever recorded but felt it wasnt up to snuff because it was far too slow to get moving. In the future I will provide my own summary of important readings and why I care, rather than just quoting straight from the source material. However, I thought it might be useful to someone to hear these quotes if they've never read economics before; and may even inspire someone to continue reading on their own. This is an episode you may want to play at 1.25x or 1.5x speed.
