Summary

The book explores ways of thinking about and understanding economies, in the plural, as geographically differentiated phenomena. In contrast to the singular worldview of mainstream economics, economic geographer Jamie Peck makes the case for studying economic worlds, and lives, and transformations from the ground up, recognizing how place and situation really matter.

Variegated Economies Summary

Variegated Economies by Jamie Peck, PhD (Professor, Professor, University of British Columbia)

The culmination of more than two decades of work on the spatiality of economic forms, worlds, and lives, Variegated Economies tackles the question of how to approach, conceptualize, and analyze economies as geographically differentiated phenomena. Staged from the field of economic geography, the book seeks to build bridges to complementary developments in critical political economy and heterodox economic studies by way of a substantive theoretical and methodological program. Jamie Peck advances a series of arguments concerning the inherent-and highly consequential-spatiality of economic forms, worlds, and lives, engaging a range of issues from the diversity of capitalism(s) to the dynamics of late-stage neoliberalization, and from the problematic uneven geographical development to the challenges-cum-opportunities of conjunctural methodologies.
