The term "market" originally portrayed a public space for economic
transactions but the term has since evolved into an abstract and
disputed idea. Despite modern markets seemingly omnipresent nature,
their specific geographies have undergone relatively little
analysis. This collection of new essays rediscovers the physical
space that markets inhabit and explore how the impact of political,
social and economic factors determine the shape of a particular
market space. The essays present new research from the fields of
geography, economics, political economy and planning and provide
valuable case study material to show how markets are contested,
constructed and placed. Rather than separate markets from the
surrounding society and state, these essays connect markets to
their wider context and showcase how economic geography can combine
with other disciplines to throw new light on spaces of exchange.
