+# Division of Labour
+
+## Definition
+
+The separation of a work process into distinct tasks performed by specialised workers, increasing productivity through greater dexterity, saved time, and the invention of labour-saving machinery, originally arising from the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book I, Chapter 2
+
+## Context
+
+The chapter's central concept, described as the necessary consequence of human propensity to exchange, which allows individuals to specialise in particular occupations and thereby increase overall productivity and wealth.
+
+## Economic Domain
+
+Production
+
+## Original Wording
+
+Smith describes the division of labour as arising from the power of exchange and as a source of increased productive powers.
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Specialisation increases throughput by improving skill, reducing switching costs, and encouraging process innovation.

+# Market Extent
+
+## Definition
+
+The geographical and economic reach of a market, determining the potential size of demand for goods and services. The extent of the market directly limits the degree to which division of labour can be developed, as a larger market provides greater opportunity for exchange and specialisation.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book I, Chapter 3
+
+## Context
+
+The central thesis of the chapter, establishing that the division of labour is fundamentally constrained by how far goods can be exchanged. Smith argues that when markets are small, individuals cannot specialise fully because they cannot exchange their surplus production for other goods they need.
+
+## Economic Domain
+
+Exchange
+
+## Original Wording
+
+Smith states that the extent of the division of labour must always be limited by the extent of the market.
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Market size determines the viability of specialised production because producers need sufficient demand to exchange specialised output.
