Reviews / Votes
. . . this beautifully written collection of essays represents one of the fundamental contributions to economic science in the last two decades." -Complexity"Arthur has the analytic skills, academic training, and courage to present convincingly his rich ideas that are almost heretical to the neoclassical economic tradition. This book could make a dramatic impact on the thinking of all regional scientists, an will occupy a prominent and accessible location on their shelves." -Journal of Regional Science
