Economic Geographies: Circuits, Flows and Spaces

While seeking to retain the strengths of top-down political economy approaches to the topics of economic geography, the author seeks to incorporate insights from critics of that approach who emphasize relationships between culture and the economy and the importance of understanding both consumption and production in order to inform his effort towards developing more nuanced conceptualizations of economies and their geographies. In the first section of his work discusses flows of capital, materials, knowledge, and people, switching focus later to explore spaces of governance, production, sale, and consumption. A final chapter addresses the issue of sustainable spaces and flows. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
