内容説明

This is an introduction to the analytical approach to political economy for economic geographers. The topics covered in this book range from qualitative arguments for a labour theory of value, to a discussion about the inconsistencies in neoclassical economic geography. In particular, the authors cover the geography of commodity production; spatial variations in prices; patterns of commodity flow; natural resources and their rents; the urban-built environment; regional growth dynamics; and technological change.
