Focusing on the evolving geography of the advanced capitalist economies of Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim, this comparative international reader presents some relevant papers published in this discipline. The text can be read either as continuous prose with each article chosen and positioned to present students with a cumulative understanding of economic change, or as a collection of articles which can be read in any order. It is divided into five sections: an introduction to economic geography, the economy in transition, spaces of production, spaces of consumption, and work, employment and society.
