Q

What does ‘The Division of Labour in Society’ look at?

A

It Traces how forms of morality and social solidarity are articulated through societal organisation and division of labour practices.

It looks at the social aspect of division of labour, rather than the economical aspect, which Adam Smith looks more into. The sociological view is linked to the economical view, but goes further into it.
