Adam Smith defined the wealth of the nation through the division of labour, which promoted the development of differentiated knowledge. The integration of this knowledge was to be acquired by the people of the country and required an ethical basis. Say, Babbage and Menger contributed to this; Marshall then included developmental trial and error and the critical gap between stimulus-response and deliberate thinking strategies. The later emphasis on equilibrium modeling facilitated further developments, but Schumpeter, Hayek, Penrose, Richardson, Nelson, and Winter helped to stimulate motivation, especially interest in achieving a particular capacity. Adam Smith told his rhetoric class. (1983, p. 145), "to present a didactic text with the details of a system; Let us establish only one or a few principles by which we can explain many laws, or phenomena, to unite one with another in their natural order, or begin to say that separate things must be explained of that, and we do not adopt a different principle nor the subsequent same as the previous ones. Durkheim says the causes of division of labour lie in the fact that individuals need to cooperate and do a variety of tasks in order that industrial society may survive. According to Marx, division of labour is imposed on workers so that the capitalists may benefit. This paper is an attempt to review the Marxian and Durkheimian perspective on the social organisation of work in Industrial society.
