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. Beginning with the economics of disequilibrium growth, the authors reveal the technological, organizational and political foundations of industrialization, and conclude by showing that the territorial forms that industry takes are central to the shape and survival of capitalism itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChapter 1: The Inconstant Geography of Capitalism \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Industrialization as Disequilibrium Growth\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: How Industries Produce Regions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Technological Change and Geographical Industrialization\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Territorial Organization of Production\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Labour The Politics of Place and Workplace\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: The Process of Territorial Development\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Economy, Society, Territory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Economics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Economics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Economics%20%5BKC%5D%22\"\u003eKC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501204992280,"sku":"9780631165330","price":31.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631165330.jpg?v=1786217037","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-capitalist-imperative-territory-technology-and-industrial-growth-paperback-softback-9780631165330","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
