# Productive Powers of Labour
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The capacity of human labour to produce output, measured in terms of the
|
||||
quantity and quality of goods a given number of workers can produce within
|
||||
a given time. Smith argues that the division of labour is the primary cause
|
||||
of increases in productive power, and that differences in productive power
|
||||
explain differences in national wealth.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book I, Chapter 1: "Of the Division of Labour"
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith introduces productive powers as the dependent variable that the division
|
||||
of labour improves. He contrasts the output of an unskilled individual worker
|
||||
(one pin per day) with the output of a coordinated team under division of
|
||||
labour (4,800 pins per person per day) to demonstrate the scale of improvement.

## Smith's Original Wording
|
||||
|
||||
"This great increase in the quantity of work, which, in consequence of the
|
||||
division of labour, the same number of people are capable of performing, is
|
||||
owing to three different circumstances."
