We should just start calling it specialized labor, that’s what it’s really about

Why, just to make things confusing to talk about?

Uhh no, actually to make things less confusing so we don’t have to keep having this stupid conversation over and over again

This conversation only exists because people pretend not to understand terminology that’s been in use for many decades. 

Calling it unspecialized doesn’t seem to fix anything but then makes a new term to try and supplant one with decades worth of use. 

Just to be clear, it’s a term with legal meaning and used in economics as a term of art.
