This is a powerful and valuable contribution to current debates in Economic Geography. For anyone wishing to quickly get up to speed on the current challenges facing the sub-discipline or to understand the multiple positionalities of leading scholars in the field, this book is an essential read. James Faulconbridge, Lancaster University"...the collection strikingly captures the salient features of economic geography's present incarnation: its fragmentation, its slapdash ways, its lack of agreement about methods, its object of inquiry, and its subdisciplinary boundaries." -- Trevor J. Barnes, Annals of the Association of American Geographers
