Geographies of the New Economy Summary

Geographies of the New Economy: Critical Reflections by Peter W. Daniels

What is the 'new economy'? Where is it? How does it differ from the 'old economy'? How does the 'new economy' relate to issues such as the nature of work, social inclusion and exclusion?

Geographies of the New Economy explores the meaning of the 'new economy' at the global scale from the perspective of advanced post-socialist and emerging economies. Drawing on evidence from regions around the world, the book debates the efficacy of the widely used concept of the new economy and examines its socio-spatial consequences.

This book is important reading for policy-makers, academics and students of geography, sociology, urban studies, economics, planning and policy studies.
