# Division of Labour — increases — Productive Powers of Labour

## Subject

Division of Labour

## Predicate

increases

## Object

Productive Powers of Labour

## Relation Type

enables

## VSM Channel

S1 → S1 (operational specialisation raises operational output per unit)

## Evidence

Book I, Chapter 1: "The greatest improvement in the productive powers of
labour, and the greater part of the skill, dexterity, and judgment with
which it is anywhere directed, or applied, seem to have been the effects
of the division of labour."

## Feedback Role

**Capital Accumulation loop (positive/reinforcing):**
Accumulation of Stock → enables → Division of Labour → increases →
Productive Powers of Labour → raises → Profits of Stock → funds →
Accumulation of Stock.

This edge (increases) is the productivity mechanism: specialisation
improves dexterity, saves time between tasks, and facilitates the
invention of machinery — three distinct channels that all raise output
per worker.
