Présentation de l'éditeur :

In Uneven Development, a classic in its field, Neil Smith offers the first full theory of uneven geographical development, expanding on established ideas regarding space and nature and combining these with a critique of capitalist economics. In his groundbreaking analyses of the production of nature and the politics of scale, Smith anticipated many of the asymmetrical contours that now mark neoliberal globalization.

Revue de presse :

Smith provides a brilliant formulation of how the production of a particular kind of nature and space under historical capitalism is essential to the unequal development of a landscape that integrates poverty with wealth. --Edward Said

A foundational text of great historical significance, constantly worthy of reappraisal. --David Harvey
