This book guides readers skilfully through the rapidly changing
field of economic geography. The authors have produced a
comprehensive and insightful account of both the heterodox
theoretical vocabularies and substantive research concerns that
characterise contemporary economic geography. The key concepts used
to structure this narrative range from key actors and processes
within global economic change to a discussion of newer areas of
research including work on financialisation and consumption. The
result is a highly readable synthesis of contemporary debates
within economic geography that is also sensitive to the history of
the sub-discipline
