Summary

This quote by Karl Marx highlights the nature of division of labor in society. Marx suggests that it is not the labor itself that is divided, but rather the individuals involved. He argues that this division turns people into mere fragments or segments, stripping them of their complete identity and reducing them to specialized tasks. Marx further emphasizes that this extreme division in labor leaves individuals with limited intellectual capacity, as they exhaust all their abilities in the smallest components of the overall production process.

[Mrs. Allen was] never satisfied with the day unless she spent the chief of it by the side of Mrs. Thorpe, in what they called conversation, but in which there was scarcely ever any exchange of opinion, and not often any resemblance of subject, for Mrs. Thorpe talked chiefly of her children, and Mrs. Allen of her gowns.
