# Market Extent — enables — Division of Labour

## Subject

Market Extent

## Predicate

enables (by providing demand for specialised output)

## Object

Division of Labour

## Relation Type

enables

## VSM Channel

S2 → S1 (coordination reach of markets enables operational specialisation)

## Evidence

Book I, Chapter 3: "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."

## Feedback Role

**Market Expansion loop (positive/reinforcing):**
Market Extent → enables → Division of Labour → raises Productive Powers
of Labour → generates surplus → expands Trade → expands Market Extent.

Together with the constrains edge (Division of Labour ← Market Extent),
this pair forms the mutual dependency at the heart of Book I: markets
enable specialisation, and specialisation generates the surplus that
expands markets.
