"An excellent, timely, and provocative book—a must-read for students of economic and social geography. This book examines a wide range of alternative economic spaces from retail and finance to life style. All of the chapters are, without exception, well written, and many are based on detailed empirical research, often using innovative comparative case studies along with other methods."
"An excellent text for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in economic geography or the other social sciences."
`A hopeful but nonetheless hard-hitting analysis of alternative economic spaces proliferating in the belly of the capitalist beast. In this book Leyshon, Lee and Williams convene fascinating studies of exchange, enterprise, credit and community. They invite us onto a new and promising discursive terrain where we can analyze, criticize and above all recognize actually existing economies of diversity in the wealthy countries of the West' - J K Gibson-Graham, Australian National University and University of Massachusetts, Amherst
