Abstract
Recent theoretical debates in economic geography are not reducible to a dispute between alternative economic theories, but are dominated nonetheless by neoclassical vs Marxist paradigms. Logical foundations of a Marxist model of the capitalist space economy are presented using mathematical models, enabling insight into unsolved theoretical debates and a more trenchant critique of neoclassical propositions. The equilibrium geography of production resulting from full capitalist competition is laid out, but analysis of this reveals both inherent disequilibrium processes disrupting any equilibrating tendencies and the contradictory, conflictual, and inconstant nature of the capitalist space economy. Models of the space economy are inseparable from social theory and social and political processes, and the very incorporation of space into these models challenges some well-known propositions from non-spatial economic theory.
