Over more than two centuries the developmentofeconomic theory has
created a wide array of different concepts, theories, and insights. My
recent books, Capital and Knowledge (Zhang, 1999) and A
TheoryofInternational Trade (Zhang, 2000) show how separate economic
theories such as the Marxian economics, the Keynesian economics, the
general equilibrium theory, the neoclassical growth theory, and the
neoclassical trade theory can be examined within a single theoretical
framework. This book isto further expand the frameworkproposed in the
previous studies. This book is a part of my economic theory with
endogenous population, capital, knowledge, preferences, sexual
division of labor and consumption, institutions, economic structures
and exchange values over time and space (Zhang, 1996a). As an
extension of the Capital and Knowledge, which is focused on the
dynamics of national economies, this book is to construct a theory of
urban economies. We are concerned with dynamic relations between
division of labor, division ofconsumption and determination of prices
structure over space. We examine dynamic interdependence between
capital accumulation, knowledge creation and utilization,
economicgrowth, price structuresand urban pattern formation under free
competition. The theory is constructed on the basisofa few concepts
within a compact framework. The comparative advantage of our theory is
that in providing rich insights into complex of spatial economies it
uses only a few concepts and simplified functional forms and accepts a
few assumptions about behavior of consumers, producers, and
institutionalstructures.
