Q

interdependence

A

when specialisation (concentrating only one job or product) leads to greater reliance on others to obtain goods and services we no longer produce ourselves this must occur for us to meet both our needs and wants everyday. e.g. teacher relies on a dentist and doctors farmer relies on a truck drivers.
