By reworking conceptual strategies and presenting a four-quadrant model of firm and sector environments, Storper and Salais make the familiar strange (at first), then give new coherence to the present melange of theoretical approaches to industrial change. -- Philip Scranton, Rutgers University and Hagley Library Storper and Salais's framework of Worlds of Production enables them not only to make sense of the vast diversity currently observable throughout the world's industrial regions. It also provides a provocative explanation for the varying capacity of different national and regional industries to succeed in international competition. There are few books in contemporary social science that integrate high theoretical ambition with detailed empirical analysis as well as this one does. -- Gary Herrigel, University of Chicago.…
