Why have the world's centres of economic activity been continually reshuffled as the industrial revolution has spread to new parts of the globe? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates that under capitalism, the process central to growth is geographical industrialization, and that the creation and use of territory is fundamental to economic development. In doing so, they make new contributions to the study of growth theory, industrial economics, technological change, industrial organization, labour market, urban and regional development, and theoretical human geography.
