Father McKenzie level? Adam Smith on the effects of specialization on character: a solution

Abstract

I propose a solution to a problem raised by E.G. West’s paper “Adam Smith’s Two Views on the Division of Labour.” Smith seems committed to the views that the division of labour makes people more and less intelligent.
