The economic geographical literature continues to display a strong continuity of emergent themes. Assessments of knowledge, learning and innovation as well as cultural industries and the cultural economy have continued to attract significant attention. There also has been ongoing interest in work and employment dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the complex ‘intersectionality’ of subjects positioned by class as well as gender, race and other dimensions of identity. The paper concludes with a brief assessment of future directions which the study of geographies of production might take.
