This remarkable book outlines the historical framework and the main
concepts of the literature on industrial districts. It illustrates
a new approach to the study of industrial development, based on
well-known industrial districts analysis. Giacomo Becattini has
written an authoritative volume which, starting with the theory of
districts, explores key aspects of contemporary capitalism. The
book concludes that industrial districts are not a provisory
phenomenon but a variant of the capitalist mode of production,
where financial relationships are relatively less important, and
inter-human ones play an unusually important role. Such is the
basis for their specific competitive advantage. Academics,
politicians and students interested in local development and also
industrial development will find much to learn in Industrial
Districts, as will industrial geographers and historians of
industry and of economic thought.
