The division of labour stamps people for life into narrow tasks with no view of the whole
Drawn from what Peter Kropotkin said
What Peter Kropotkin actually said
- Peter Kropotkin Russian anarchist political philosopher and geographer (1842 to 1921)
The division of labour means labelling and stamping men for life—some to splice ropes in factories, some to be foremen in a business, others to shove huge coal-baskets in a particular part of a mine; but none of them to have any idea of machinery as a whole, nor of business, nor of mines.
