Variegated Economies

Abstract The culmination of more than two decades of work on the spatiality of economic forms, worlds, and lives, Variegated Economies tackles the question of how to approach, conceptualize, and analyze economies as geographically differentiated and unevenly developed phenomena. Staged from the loosely bounded field known as economic geography, the book seeks to build bridges to complementary work in critical political economy and heterodox economic studies by way of a substantive theoretical and methodological program. Variegated Economies advances a series of arguments concerning the inherent—and highly consequential—spatiality of economic forms, worlds, and lives, engaging a range of issues from the diversity of capitalism(s) to the dynamics of late-stage neoliberalization, and from the problematic uneven geographical development to the challenges-cum-opportunities of conjunctural modes of analysis.
