The principle of increasing and decreasing returns... is a variation of the principle of balance. It affirms that larger and larger amounts of agents in production will produce larger and larger net returns up to a certain point at which the maximum value will have been developed, and beyond which any additional investment will not produce a return commensurate with the investment.  3, record 6, English, - principle%20of%20increasing%20and%20decreasing%20returns

There are still gains from trade; but because of diminishing returns and increasing costs, there is not so much specialization as before and not quite such large gains.

Often [the law of diminishing returns] will hold only after you have added a considerable number of equal doses of the varying factor.(...) Before such a point the varying factors might be yielding increasing extra returns, since until then we might find that adding extra varying inputs to a fixed input leads to increasing rather than diminishing extra outputs(...)  1, record 11, English, - fixed%20input
