> Richard Walker (Ph.D. Johns Hopkins) has written on a diverse
> range of topics in economic and urban geography, as well as
> environmental policy and the odd foray into philosophy. He is co-
> author, with Michael Storper, of "The Capitalist Imperative:
> Territory, Technology and Industrial Growth" (Blackwell, 1989) and,
> with Andrew Sayer, of "The New Social Economy: Reworking the
> Division of Labor" (Blackwell, 1992). Most recently, his focus has
> been on the regional peculiarities of California - one of the most
> important economic, political and cultural hearths of world
> capitalism, and one of the least studied. He is currently working
> on a book on the growth of the San Francisco Bay Area and
> another on the economic development of California, with a third
> volume planned on the political shape of San Francisco, 1950-
> 2000. He is a leading figure in contemporary geography and a
> widely respected Marxist scholar and is a long-time activist in
> public affairs and on campus.
