Abstract
Argues for a reorientation of economic theory around the concept of
co-operative production. Suggests that by definition, co-operative
production exists when different people take different, complementary
roles in production. Argues that, while the proposed reorientation has
clear roots in the ideas of Adam Smith, it also synthesizes several
other key insights of the classical economists, and at the same time
leads, by implication, both to the major topics of neoclassical
economics and to some important topics of modern applied economics that
are often treated in an ad hoc fashion, such as economies of
agglomeration, dualism in development and X-inefficiency.
