Distinctive in its even-handed treatment of liberal and socialist theoretical perspectives, noting problems facing both capitalist and state-socialist economies, it also stresses the importance of cultural contexts. The book will be a key text for undergraduate students of economic geography, and will also serve the needs of courses in international affairs, global political economy and development studies.
