 PREFACE

This book is founded on more than 30 years of reflection on the use and
abuse of economic theory. During these years, I have considered myself to be
a critical observer of developments in economics and in economic theory in
particular. The impetus for my view of economics presented here was given,
initially, during my studies as an economics student at Tilburg University and,
subsequently, during research for my dissertation. My dissertation addressed
the modelling of institutional constraints in Edgeworthian barter processes.
During these initial years as a researcher in economics, I already found myself
at odds with the main hypotheses put forward by leading economists. In
particular, I lamented the state of general equilibrium theory and its singular
focus on perfectly competitive markets, which I believe to be much too limiting.
During my subsequent career at Virginia Tech I turned my attention to
several other areas in economic theory. Again, I found the practice in these
other fields in economic theory lacking in critical self-reflection. I made several
contributions to the general equilibrium theory of the provision of collective
goods-better known as public goods. With my coauthors Dimitrios Diaman-
taras and Pieter Ruys, we have been able to apply this theory to understand the
emergence of trade institutions, in particular market systems, that are subject
to establishment and maintenance costs. Our conclusions from this research
resulted in explanations that were different from the established theories in
mainstream neo-classical economics.
Subsequently, I investigated the formation of networks and hierarchical
authority organisations with various coauthors. In particular, I focused on the
role of trust in the formation of networks under mutual consent. The main
insight from this research is not only that trust removes ambiguity about
networking decisions, but also that trust guides the various economic agents
to form a social network with strong stability properties.
I first met Xiaokai Yang during a visit to Tilburg University in 1999. My
reading of his 2001 book on the social division of labour triggered my interest
in incorporating some of my own ideas in Yang’s framework. It took a long time
to truly understand the working of Yang’s theory and its full potential. Only

v
vi PREFACE

years after his death was I able to fully realise this potential in a mathematically
correct theory of wealth creation through a social division of labour. The results
have been beyond my expectations, and I have realised that this framework
could unify many of my ideas from my previous research and introspection.
Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, I returned from the
USA to Europe and took up a professorship at Queen’s University in Belfast,
UK. The crisis strengthened my resolve to turn multiple strands of research
and teaching material into a comprehensive vision of the functioning of an
economy. This theory should be able to explain the crisis and make it possible
to understand its effects.
During the past decade at Belfast I have developed and taught my emerging
vision of the network-institutional nature of economic wealth creation through
a social division of labour. This vision is presented in two volumes.
This first volume discusses the network-institutional foundation of economic
wealth creation through a social division of labour. The theory put forward
emphasises the role of socio-economic institutions in guiding the social division
of labour. It brings together my thoughts on how institutions structure our
economy and facilitate the production of goods and services. I discuss how this
allows us to understand the financial panic of 2008 and what happened recently
in the global economy. It also allows for a comprehensive understanding of the
nature and role of trust and entrepreneurship. Both are essential elements in
the functioning of wealth creation processes in a social division of labour.
While the nature of the first volume is very much in the realm of political
economy, I turn to mathematical models of economies with a social division of
labour in the second volume. There I am able to build on the framework laid out
in the first volume to develop insights in the functioning of these economies. In
particular, these theories explain that, if economic wealth is generated through
a social division of labour, there is in principle no contradiction between the
classical labour theory of value and the neo-classical market theory of value.
This only emerges if institutions are assumed to implement a state of perfect
competition and mobility: institutional imperfections allow the emergence
of middlemen in the networks that make up the trade infrastructure of the
economy. This, in turn, creates positions of power that can be exploited to
create inequalities and deviations from the underlying value of the traded
commodities.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book could not have been written without the helpful input of many
of my colleagues and students. Many discussions over the years have shaped
the research and philosophy presented here. Starting with my dissertation
research at Tilburg University in the Netherlands in the 1980s and subsequently
my work at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, and Queen’s University in
Belfast, UK, I have had many opportunities to shape my thoughts through
 PREFACE vii

interactions with colleagues and students and through lecturing to attentive

audiences.
Above all, I acknowledge the contributions of my mentor, Pieter Ruys, to
the material presented here. We have been debating the nature of the relational
economy for 30 years and we continue this debate today. In the early days of
my dissertation research at Tilburg University, Pieter gave me the freedom to
find my own way and investigate networks and hierarchies well before these
became fashionable. Pieter then gave and still gives me the inspiration to ask
the hard questions and to demand that economists, and economic theorists in
particular, should provide answers to these questions even though the search is
tremendously difficult and demanding.
Second, I acknowledge the contributions of Dimitrios Diamantaras to the
ideas and concepts presented here: Dimitrios was my coauthor in developing
many of these theories. We spent a lot of time together to develop the
demanding mathematical models and proofs that are required to address these
questions properly. I thank Dimitrios and his student Marie Shorokey for
detailed corrections and feedback on this first volume.
More recently, my work with Dimitrios and Marialaura Pesce on the
endogenous emergence of a social division of labour in different institutional
environments has been inspiring and is a major part of the ideas presented in
the second volume. I thank Marialaura for hosting me in Naples these past years
to develop these ideas more fully.
I also thank my former students, many of whom are now close colleagues
and collaborators. In particular, working with René van den Brink and Emiliya
Lazarova has given me much inspiration. We wrote many papers together, with
René on hierarchical organisations and with Emiliya on the relational economy
and institutions.
With Sudipta Sarangi I developed one of the most important concepts and
models in this research programme, the model of network formation under
mutual consent. Our model of trusting behaviour and the game theoretic
solution forms in many ways a cornerstone of my research programme. This
research extended into our work with Subhadip Chakrabarti on the many
applications of networks in game theoretic models of economic behaviour.
Working with Kate Johnson has been a real inspiration. Together we
explored the notion of social capital, Grameen banking and experimental game
theory. Many of our discussions are hopefully reflected in this text.
Most recently, Owen Sims has contributed most prolifically to the discussion
of how the social division of labour develops and, particularly, our understand-
ing of entrepreneurship in such economies. Our debates and joint research has
resulted in many ideas that are presented in this first volume. Chapter 5 on
entrepreneurship is a joint work with Owen. His interest in historical cases of
entrepreneurship matched my own and resulted in very insightful analysis that
is used throughout this volume and Chap. 5 specifically. I thank Owen very
much for these contributions. Without him this project would be much less
complete.
viii PREFACE

I would also like to thank my former students Willy Spanjers, Kyungdong

Hahn, Narine Badasyan and Zhengzheng Pan. Over the years, they gave me
much motivation to keep on track with my work on the research programme
that has resulted in these two volumes.
Finally, I thank my wife Jelena for putting up with my idiosyncratic state of
mind and work ethic during the endless hours of working on this manuscript.
I am very grateful to her for allowing me a more practical perspective on the
functioning of the social division of labour through her lens of supply chain
management. She complements me in more ways than I can express.

 CHAPTER 1

The Principles of Economic Wealth Creation

“What are the causes of the human ability to create economic wealth?” This
is one of the key questions that have occupied economists from the onset of
their reasoning about economic activity and performance in a human society,
exemplified by the title of the magnum opus by Adam Smith (1776), An
Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.
The response to this fundamental question is not only the oldest, but also
the most established economic theory: wealth is generated through a social
division of labour that is encapsulated in a social trade infrastructure. Productive
tasks are spread out among a multitude of individuals, who achieve collectively
a higher output than when all of them remain non-specialised. Thus wealth
generation is founded on “Increasing Returns to Specialisation”. Through a
social trade infrastructure these specialised productive individuals are brought
together to exchange, barter and trade the fruits of their labour to allocate the
collective output for consumptive purposes.
A social division of labour, therefore, divides and integrates simultaneously.
In order to access the identified Increasing Returns to Specialisation, productive
tasks have to be divided; similarly, these divided tasks can only be functionally
implemented when they are integrated into a social environment that embodies
an effective trade infrastructure. Human needs give rise to the double coinci-
dence of wants that can only be resolved through such a trade infrastructure.
The ability to create such a complex social organisation and to let this
organisation be sufficiently flexible is uniquely human. In fact, the human
condition is exemplified by this unique social ability. Our hominin species
Homo sapiens sapiens evolved biologically as well as socially to respond to
environmental conditions in a cooperative manner, this is known as the “social
brain hypothesis” (Dunbar 2003). The social brain hypothesis leads to the
conclusion that this uniquely human characteristic naturally evolved into such
a social division of labour.

2 R. P. GILLES

That the social division of wealth-generating tasks cannot be separated from

its integration through a social trade infrastructure gives rise to questions about
how a human society accomplishes such a difficult and complex objective.
In this work I adopt the hypothesis that such an organisation is conducted
and coordinated through socio-economic institutions. These institutions are
understood as fictional narratives that build a parallel fictional reality in which
humans interact and cooperate (Harari 2014).
Such an institutional perspective is, therefore, inalienable from the idea that
wealth is generated through a social division of labour. This has been accepted
by many social philosophers and economists, but has been neglected more
recently in market-centred thinking about the human economy. I argue here
that a return to a more institutional perspective is necessary to make economics
relevant again and to address contemporary issues in the global economy in the
twenty-first century.
The institutional perspective taken in this book is a very broad one, capturing
many forms of the fictional narratives that guide human interaction. I include all
forms of conventions, collective behavioural rules and forms of governance in
the category of institutions. Institutions range, therefore, from simple human
gestures, facial expressions and language to advanced governmental institutions
and sophisticated financial instruments in our contemporary global economy.
In this chapter, I set out an axiomatic structure to underpin a thought
framework in which one can meaningfully reason about the human economy
centred around a social division of labour. Before doing this, I dwell for a short
time on the historical roots of the fundamental theory that economic wealth is
generated through a social division of labour that is encapsulated in an effective
trade infrastructure.
Some Historical Theories of the Social Division of Labour The idea or
principle that economic wealth generation is conducted through such a social
division of labour was already proposed in ancient Greek social philosophical
discourse. This is exemplified by the description of the ideal “polis” in Plato
(380 BCE) as an urban economy that is structured through a clear social
division of labour. This was expounded and expanded upon by Xenophon (370
BCE, 362 BCE), who emphasised the necessity of having a proper functioning
institutional environment in which a social division of labour can flourish.
Aristotle (350 BCE) developed the conception of economic wealth creation
through a social division of labour in its most complete vision during Greek
antiquity. He emphasised the importance of specific socio-economic institutions
such as property rights and the free exchange and barter of property. This
included a treatise on the evolution of money and the foundation of the price
mechanism (Aristotle 340 BCE, Book V).
The principle that economic activity is structured as a social division of labour
was unquestioned through more than 2000 years of philosophical and social
thought spanning Plato, Xenophon and Aristotle. Contributions were made
 THE PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMIC WEALTH CREATION 3

in Islamic Scholastic and Latin Scholastic thought (Sun 2012, Chapter 2),
but only during the period in the run-up to the industrial revolution in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was the idea significantly revived. The
term “division of labour” was actually coined by Bernard Mandeville in an
elaborate analysis of industrial shipbuilding and cloth-making in Volume 2 of
his magnum opus, Mandeville (1714). In this work, the concept that economic
wealth is generated through a social division of labour became absolute and
indisputable. Mandeville also uses metaphors to promote this idea, in particular
with his famous fable of the bees.
Mandeville brought the ideas of the ancient social philosophers into the
world created by the industrial revolution. His contribution also included
the introduction of the idea of the channelling of self-interest through the
trade infrastructure of the economy. As Prendergast (2016) argues, this was
not necessarily founded on an early understanding of “laissez-faire” economic
policy by governments of nation-states—that unbridled self-interested decision-
making leads to collectively optimal benefits under free trade—but rather
a more sophisticated conception of the role of public government in the
economy. In particular, Mandeville was hesitant about the potential for coercion
in the labour markets in a modern industrial economy.
Classical Political Economy Although the roots of the emerging field of
political economy were already laid prior to his contributions, Adam Smith
(1759, 1776) firmly established this new science on the fundamental principle
that economic wealth was generated through a social division of labour. This
was set out in the first three chapters of Smith (1776), in which he famously
expounded on the workings of the division of labour in a pin factory.
Smith also developed some theoretical consequences of the hypothesis of
wealth generation through a division of labour. In particular, he linked the
proper and efficient functioning of a social division of labour to the notion
of competition, and developed the notion of the “extent of the market” to
describe the limits of the wealth generation process in a social division of labour.
This leads him on to an extensive debate about economic policy founding the
development of the economy—embodied by the social division of labour—
based on economic liberty and self-guidance. This was expressed most forcefully
in Smith’s concept of the “invisible hand”: that selfishness and greed guide the
social division of labour to its most optimal state.
After Smith, David Ricardo (1817) provided the next push in the develop-
ment of the theory of wealth generation through a social division of labour.
Based on the vision promoted by Malthus (1798), Ricardo was very concerned
about the limits to economic growth. He introduced the theoretical notions of
marginal productivity and an equilibrium as a state of the economy in which
the rate of return on capital investments is negligible owing to the balance
4 R. P. GILLES

of the forces in the social division of labour.1 Ricardo thus introduced two
fundamental ideas into economics—marginalism and equilibration—changing
economic thought forever.
Ricardo significantly changed the theory of wealth generation through a
social division of labour, setting the scene for contributions that considered the
incorporation of the division of labour into manufacturing organisations. The
first main contribution to the understanding of manufacturing and its effects
on the division of labour was made by Charles Babbage (1835). He formulated
the “Babbage principle” that in an industrialised economy Increasing Returns
to Specialisation are driven by advances in production technology and the
organisation of work around mechanised production processes. This laid the
foundations for modern economic growth theory.
The work of Babbage on manufacturing set the scene for the most compre-
hensive analysis of the industrial division of labour in the work by Karl Marx
(1867, 1893, 1894). Marx fully incorporated the idea that tasks are organised
hierarchically in social production organisations—through a manufacturing
division of labour. His analysis considered the fact that produced commodities
can obscure the way in which production is organised—referred to as “com-
modity fetishism” (Marx 1867, Chapter 1). For example, when buying a mobile
phone, it is not clear how it was produced or where it originated; whether child
or slave labour was used in its production; or whether its production process
negatively impacted the natural environment.2 Marx’s theoretical framework
attempted to reveal the workings and consequences of these obscured socio-
economic mechanisms.
Marx set out to develop a complete theory of the capitalist economy. His
perspective was very much a nineteenth-century one, centred on the notion
of a commodity as a physical bearer of “use value”. His theory distinguishes
capitalism from other forms of socio-economic organisation through its focus
on capital accumulation—generated surpluses are submitted to the social divi-
sion of labour with the objective to generate further surpluses. This perspective
was fully expounded in a mathematical theory by Sraffa (1960) and Roemer
(1981).

1 Ricardo’s argument was innovative and revolutionary: Competition among capitalists will force

the rate of return on investments to equalise in the economy. The sector with the lowest marginal
productivity will thus determine the overall rate of return in the economy. Ricardo determined
this resource to be arable land, the agricultural output of which will diminish with more intensive
use. Diminishing returns on less productive land now drives the economy to an equilibrium in
which the social division exactly generates enough resources to reproduce itself, thus enhancing
the arguments seminally put forward by Malthus (1798). For a detailed discussion I refer to Foley
(2006, Chapter 2).
