Book review: the new geography of capitalism: firms, finance, and society by Adam D Dixon

Reviewing a range of debates and theories across the contemporary social sciences – varieties of capitalism, financialization, global production networks – this book aims to show how the insights of economic geography can be usefully brought to bear in understanding current trends, and the changing relationships between global financial markets, multinational firms, and contemporary welfare states. Muireann O’Dwyer believes that this will be read with approval by many in Economic Geography, but it would be a true shame if those in other disciplines did not also pay close attention.
