Abstract
When Adam Smith wrote the Wealth of Nations in 1776, he concluded that individuals, firms, and nations obtain comparative advantage by specialization. Markets worked as the invisible hand to efficiently allocate resources between specialized parties. During the Industrial Revolution, manufacturing organizations helped the nation become wealthy by creating mechanisms for the internal allocation and integration of resources to produce largely tangible output. Today, both markets and organizations are undergoing a phase transition.
