Hi all: The latest issue of Progressive Planning Magazine (PPM), which is the quarterly magazine of Planners Network (PN), covers some economic geography content that may be of interest.
The theme of the issue is "Manufacturing: New Industries, Progressive Approaches?" and it was co-edited by Jennifer Clark, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Pierre Clavel, Cornell University. The table of contents can be found below, and the first three articles can be accessed for free online (the first article is not about manufacturing, but about the Occupy Wall Street movement). The next issue of the Magazine will be focused on the Occupy Movement.
