Abstract: The thought of division of labor was an important component in classical economics, but it was neglected after Marshall in Neoclassic economics for a long time What exactly was the reason? This paper reviewed Marshalls thought stream and discovered that Marshalls division of labor was closely related to his method of economic biology The coordination of economic biology and economical mechanics resulted in a controversy about “increasing returns and the representative firm” in the 1920s This argument enabled the mainstream economic to experience an approach of “away from the economical biology and close to economical mechanics”, which departed from Marshalls thought It was the reason why the thought of division of labor was neglected
