Walker, "A Requiem for Corporate Geography" (1989)

(44) Myrdal's influence on location theory through concept of 'cumulative causation'

(46) in contrast to classic theory, the calculus of large firms is basically indistinguishable from small firms [part of the attempt to recenter discussions on the economy/capitalism, away from firm parameters]

(47) organizational characteristics also don't change parameters of firm calculus (again, beyond corporate geography)

(50) corporate goegraphers promote 'industrial organization' over processes of industrialization [reminder that you can't escape capitalism]

(53) neoclassicals smuugle everythin in through the back door--everything important that affects/defines production is exogenous to their model, in effect

(53) 'efficacy' vs. 'cost efficiency'

(57) wide variety of organizational forms can work

(60) against 'uneven development', no notion of fixed hierarchy of places

(62-63) 'affection for petty bourgeois palliatives (i.e., small business, etc.)--need, in short, for a more "capacious socialist agenda"
