Through an exploration of the spaces of household economic practice concerned with food production on family plots of land and with inter-household networks of reciprocity, the paper argues that such activities can be better situated within
the context of the articulation between deep-seated and long-standing economic practices imbued with cultural significance. It explores the inter-section of these cultural and economic practices through the lens of non-market production of surplus product

Problems of location and land rent within the framework of a linear and multisector production model in a radioconcentric space. In the case of a single product, the order of the differential soil fertility and location rent is examined. Formulating
a spatial equilibrium with n goods where several qualities of soil exist raises difficulties. When several techniques are used to manufacture a product then it is shown how different techniques are located in relation to the centre according to prices
and the distribution techniques. Insights are also given on introduction and spread in space of a new technique.

Output of an interdisciplanary and international workshop, held in Zurich, october 2002. The book focuses on the interlinkages between finance and production in terms of their spatialities. The intangible character of finance has a profound impact
on regional development, but it has also its own space. Drawing on European experiences, the book intends to provide conceptual and empirical ground for further in-depth analysis of the relation between finance and innovation. - (IFL)
