This text presents a systematic application of postmodernism to economic geography. It integrates a review of economic geography with innovative work from philosophy and social science, clarifying ideas and demonstrations relevant to their field. The work draws together a number of poststructuralist writers, including Jacques Derrida and Richard Rorty, with such influential economists as Deirdre McCloskey and Stephen Resnick.
