In The Division of Social Labour (1893), he proposed a general theory to explain the evolution of societies from primitive, held together by mechanical solidarity (based on similarity between different individuals), to modern, held together by organic solidarity (based upon complementary differences between individuals).

Following their method, economists posited a deliberate choice of increased division of labour as the cause although it was also the effect.
