Why does December get all the "Best of" lists? Maybe it's just easy filler for when people are on vacation. But spring is also a lovely time to reflect on what the past has brought and to dream about what the future may hold.
I'm not sure any of the below posts could have been identified at the time of submission or publication as a sure thing for our Top Ten. But they were seen, and read, and shared among our audience and by us. Some authors may be surprised to be on the list or on the list for the specific piece that did so well. It's hard to know which seeds will grow.

Of Note:
- Brianne Wolf's piece, Why Does the Division of Labor Matter, is #1 by a loooooong shot. Almost 4x as many views as #2. She may never be unseated.
- Alex Argona's Adam Smith and the Costs of the Division of Labor and John Burrow's Adam Smith and Stadial Theory are the closest. Only 60 views separate them. One good day on social media could change it all.
- Renee Wilmeth is the only author to appear twice in the Top Ten. Once for Apple Charlotte and again for Cream Crowdie. We knew her #WhatAdamSmithAte series was popular but goodness.
- Joy Buchanan stands out because her post was only published last month. The next most recent was six months ago. Watch out, top #1-#6!
- Honorable mention goes to Art Carden whose (also very recent post!) on The Use of Pineapple in Society is zooming up the charts. But, for now, he's not quite there.
