# Book I Chapter III
|
|
|
|
## Excerpt
|
|
|
|
As it is the power of exchanging that gives occasion to the division of
|
|
labour, so the extent of this division must always be limited by the extent of
|
|
that power, or, in other words, by the extent of the market.
|
|
|
|
When the market is very small, no person can have any encouragement to dedicate
|
|
himself entirely to one employment, for want of the power to exchange all that
|
|
surplus part of the produce of his own labour, which is over and above his own
|
|
consumption, for such parts of the produce of other men's labour as he has
|
|
occasion for.
