Introduction: financial geographies--the credit crisis as an opportunity to catch economic geography's next boat?
本文是金融地理学特刊的引言,指出2007-2008年金融危机暴露了经济地理学未能及时研究金融地理的问题,并提出了三个研究问题:生产主义、时代思维和理性。
The story of the financial turmoil that swept the world in 2007 and 2008 has proven to be geographical to the bone. In this introduction to the special issue on ‘financial geographies’ we express concerns that the financial crisis and all it has showcased is going to be economic geography's ‘next missed boat’. We derive three problematics from the crisis—productivism, epochal thinking and rationality—and discuss the extent financial geography is positioned to address them. The second aim of the introduction is to present an overview of the papers in this special issue and the ways in which they take up the issues raised in this introduction.
