Since the 1980s, the social sciences have "discovered" space and its consequences in the development process. "Space matters," as Doreen Massey argues. In fact, some well-known theorists of economic science, such as Paul Krugman, have become ardent supporters of economic geography and have since moved away from the "dimensionless wonderland" of neoclassical economics.

Until then, economic theory ignored space, assuming a dimensionless world where economic activities took place "on the head of a pin," because introducing the concept of space creates problems in analyzing general and partial economic equilibrium. Moreover, space had also been neglected by economic policy, which prioritized issues of national economic policy (unemployment, unequal income distribution, etc.).

This book aims to fill a gap in the Greek literature on the subject of Economic Geography. It seeks to expose the reader to a wide range of interpretations and philosophical approaches within the science of Geography, to open "windows" to many fields of knowledge, without aspiring to present the broad spectrum and numerous aspects of it.

For each of these subjects, the reader can subsequently refer to the frequent multiple interpretative possibilities offered by the international literature, a selected section of which is mentioned at the end of each chapter. The use of examples allows for a better understanding of the processes being analyzed.
