Division of labour in the city
About this model
Xenophon, Plato, Republic, c. 370 BCE. Citizens become specialists as the city grows; each specialist makes more and better goods than a generalist; goods are traded in the market. A teaching model: it keeps only this core loop and leaves out everything else a real economy has.
