Description

The Capitalist Imperative: Territory, Technology and Industrial Growth by Richard Walker and Michael Storper This influential book explores the relationship between capitalism, economic growth, and geographical territory. The authors argue that the process of industrialization is central to capitalist development, and that the creation and use of territory are fundamental to economic success. Walker and Storper examine the technological, organizational, and political foundations of industrialization, revealing how territorial forms shape the structure and survival of capitalism. By analyzing the economics of disequilibrium growth, they shed new light on the study of growth theory, industrial economics, and technological change. A key contribution to the fields of economic development, urban and regional studies, and theoretical geography, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between capitalism, territory, and industrialization.
