"This is a very well researched book for aspiring economic geographers. It has indeed delivered on its promise to be reflexive and inclusive in our current understanding of the subject matter and the practice of future economic-geographical research. The book offers much more than basic concepts in the field, but most importantly also critical insights into some of the most pressing challenges in the global economy. A must read for all students and educators in the field." Professor Henry Wai-chung Yeung, Choh-Ming Li Professor of Geography and Resource Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
"Concise, focused, impressively up-to-date, and ambitious take on the basics of contemporary economic geography, its roots, and possible futures. Clear exposition of selected theories, methods, and contemporary issues. With good attention to the role of capital and land, as well as financial geographies offering insights into both. A critical and constructive voice for more consequential economic geography." Professor Dariusz Wójcik, Provosts Chair Professor of Financial Geography, National University of Singapore
"Conceptually ambitious, yet jargon free, this book shows how contemporary economic geographies emerge. It brings the core concepts of space, place, scale, territory, and networks to life through empirical examples from around the world, demonstrating the power of economic geography to explain phenomena ranging from trade wars and state-owned enterprises to financialization and degrowth." Professor Heidi Østbø Haugen, Professor of Human Geography, University of Oslo
