Porteous Barney Warf Neil Wrigley Alberto Zazzaro Money is central to understanding the space economy.

Not only does money itself have its own geographies, but these in turn help to shape the geographies of economic activity more generally.

Across the global economy banking systems and money markets are being restructured.

A new economic geography of money and finance is emerging, reflecting, among other things, the momentous changes that are taking place in the world's financial systems, particularly the impact of globalisation, deregulation, privatisation and technological change.

Money and the Space Economy brings together leading geographers and economists working on money to highlight the changing geographies of banking, the forces underpinning and threatening international financial centres, the relationship between financial systems, business and the local economy, and the financial causes and consequences of the retreat of the state.

With case studies drawn from United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, Money and the Space Economy redraws the map of local, regional, national and international financial spaces.
