This timely volume comprehensuvely summerises the various approaches to research that have come to constitute contemporary economic geography. Expert assessments provide a lively sense of the research frontier making this essential reading for all who seek to understand and appreciate the field.
A powerful, persuasive, imaginative, and relevant synthesis of a sub-discipline. Part historical reconstruction, part survey of the varied domains of economic geography (from location and uneven development to economies of nature and spectacle), this book bristles with the ideas that have shaped thinking - and practice - on the geographies of economic organisation. It is a must read not only for geographers but also other people, disciplines and practices interested in the spatial dynamics of the modern economy.
