Peck’s (2012) reaction to the colonizing impulse of economics is a call to consolidation of economic geography, better connecting diverse sites of inquiry. This appears to be a reaction to the current incursion of orthodoxy in the form of the New Economic Geography into the domain of the old economic geography. This incursion carries with it the ideological eminence of the market which oversimplifies the nature of exchange and consequently obscures the processes which shape places. I question Peck’s proposition. From an applied perspective our understanding of the real world benefits from the heterogeneity of economic geography. Academic resilience comes from diversity. As a result, economic geography already provides a strong and grounded basis for resisting the monotheism of orthodox economics. (I also question the use of the island life analogy as a didactic device in a critique of a similar device, the neoclassical market model.)
