He propagated division of labor

Plato saw a person's need as the primary driver of a relationship. He believed that individuals primarily act in their self-interests. They band together and support one another because it appears to be in their own best interests. To coordinate productive endeavors, Plato argued for the division of labor. He believed that each person had a unique set of inherent talents, making them each better suited to a certain profession than they may be to another. He thought that for many jobs to be completed at once, certain individuals had to be available.

According to him, people may be categorized into three primary groups. First including, farmers, tradespeople, and artisans were motivated to make goods. These folks were supposed to represent the spirit's "hunger" aspect. The second was those who played the role of guardians and cared about defense and the "soul" component of the spirit. Military officers were among those who were praised for their bravery, dependability, and audacity. And the last such as rulers or academics who were astute, astute, self-controlled, and desired intellect and equity were those who were concerned with the "reason" portion of the spirit. This group was regarded as the smallest of the three. According to Plato, the only way to end societal division and achieve a fair society is by specialization in one of these responsibilities.
