In common with most other advanced capitalist economies of the
Global North, the UK has experienced a decline in the manufacturing
industry and an increase in the service sector in recent decades.
At the same time, there has been a substantial manufacturing growth
in a number of countries in the Global South, especially China and
India. Why have these changes occurred? What have been their
economic and ecological consequences? How can we best understand
the way the contemporary economy functions? This book explores the
answers to these questions, proposing that the contemporary
capitalist economy is best understood as a complex socio-spatial
system of co-production involving relations between people, things
and non-human entities. It is argued that these people typically
have conflicting and competitive interests yet can come together to
resolve their differences or find ways of regulating their
conflicting interests. National states continue to have a critical
role in establishing these systems of regulation. At the same time,
many companies draw on the knowledge of their customers while
others enrol animals, insects and plants as co-producers. As a
result, the improbable processes of commodity production and
capital accumulation continue more or less routinely; with problems
and occasional crises overcome in a variety of ways. Co-produced
Economies will be of interest to students of economic geography,
political economy and economic development, and more generally to
social scientists interested in issues of the causes and
consequences of economic change. It will also be of relevance to
policy makers seeking to develop economic policies in the
increasingly volatile global economy and in the context of growing
environmental concerns.
