Explore the spatial dimensions of capital and its geographic distribution in this 31-minute lecture from NPTEL-NOC IITM. Examine how capital flows, accumulates, and transforms across different spatial scales, from local to global contexts. Analyze the relationship between geography and economic processes, investigating how space influences capital formation, circulation, and the creation of uneven development patterns. Delve into theoretical frameworks that explain the spatial logic of capitalism, including concepts of spatial fix, territorial organization, and the role of place in economic restructuring. Study how capital seeks new territories for expansion and how this process shapes urban and regional development. Understand the mechanisms through which capital creates and recreates spatial hierarchies, examining case studies that illustrate the concrete manifestations of spatial capital dynamics in contemporary economic geography.
