I’m at AdamSmithWorks this week with “FROM PINS TO PATTERNS: FOLLOWING THE THREADS OF PRODUCTIVITY”
In the tapestry of human progress studies, two authors, Adam Smith and Virginia Postrel, have left their mark on the story of productivity and innovation. Their books, written centuries apart, both explore the power of specialization and the division of labor.
Part of the reason this came out this week is that I’m reading The Fabric of Civilization. So good! It had come highly recommended before, but I finally have an excuse to read it because I’m working on an article about fashion.
