REGIONAL GROWTH AND REGIONAL PROBLEMS UNDER CAPITALISM

Hansen, Frank: Regional growth and regional problems under capitalism—two connected types of analyses? Geografisk Tidsskrift 80: 109–113. Copenhagen, June 1980.

Marxistic regional analyses are criticized for having focussed one-sidedly on the localization of capital and labour and neglected the human and environmental consequences of the capital's movements and localization. On the basis hereof a localization analysis is outlined as also an analysis of the regional differences in labour's working and reproduction conditions, and it is discussed how these differences and the localization of capital influence each other.
