It identifies patterns of economic activity across space, explores the role of economic scale, and sets out both contemporary approaches and classical theories. Each chapter investigates a single topic using a clearly defined economic-geographical perspective.

Topics addressed include everything from uneven development, commodity chains, technology, and agglomeration, to the commodification of nature, states, transnational corporations, labour, consumption, economic cultures, gender, and ethnic economies.
