This research monograph develops an overarching framework to resurrect the classical notion of division of labour and specialization which is the essential source of increasing nation’s wealth. The new framework has many conceptual and policy implications different from those of orthodox analysis. The monograph provides systematic and comprehensive materials for applying the new framework to the study of a wide range of micro and macro phenomena.
