The Howard G. Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography Modeling the Capitalist Space Economy: Bringing Society and Space Back
用数学模型构建马克思主义的资本主义空间经济模型，揭示完全竞争下的生产均衡地理及其内在的不均衡过程，并论证空间经济模型与社会理论不可分割。
Recent theoretical debates in economic geography are not reducible to a dispute between alternative economic theories, but are dominated nonetheless by neoclassical vs Marxist paradigms. Logical foundations of a Marxist model of the capitalist space economy are presented using mathematical models, enabling insight into unsolved theoretical debates and a more trenchant critique of neoclassical propositions. The equilibrium geography of production resulting from full capitalist competition is laid out, but analysis of this reveals both inherent disequilibrium processes disrupting any equilibrating tendencies and the contradictory, conflictual, and inconstant nature of the capitalist space economy. Models of the space economy are inseparable from social theory and social and political processes, and the very incorporation of space into these models challenges some well-known propositions from non-spatial economic theory.
