Restructure entity storage from per-chapter subdirectories to a flat
canonical set in output/entities/. Each entity exists as a single file;
duplicates across chapters are detected by slug collision and skipped
(first occurrence wins). Chapter views use {{ include }} transclusion
to reference shared entity files.
Add @{existing_entities} macro to extract-entities template so the LLM
knows which entities already exist and focuses on genuinely new ones.
Refactor _call_llm() from _execute_llm() for callers that handle their
own file I/O. 41 unique entities from 4 chapters (2 duplicates removed).

# The Bargain
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
A voluntary bilateral exchange in which each party offers something the other
|
|
wants. Smith defines the bargain as the fundamental unit of economic
|
|
interaction: "Give me that which I want, and you shall have this which you
|
|
want." It is through bargaining that individuals obtain "the far greater part
|
|
of those good offices which we stand in need of" in civilised society, as
|
|
opposed to relying on benevolence or coercion.
|

|
|
## Source Chapter
|
|
|
|
Book I, Chapter 2: "Of the Principle which gives Occasion to the Division
|
|
of Labour"
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
The bargain is presented as the practical expression of the propensity to
|
|
exchange. Smith argues that it is the dominant mode of economic interaction,
|
|
used even by beggars who exchange charity-received goods for things they
|
|
actually need.

## Smith's Original Wording
|
|
|
|
"Whoever offers to another a bargain of any kind, proposes to do this. Give
|
|
me that which I want, and you shall have this which you want, is the meaning
|
|
of every such offer."
