摘要

Even though services now account for upwards of 80 percent of all employment in advanced economies, they are a category that is poorly understood by the academic community. They have been characterized as being intangible (a massage?), nonstorable (educational DVDs?), nontransportable (TV signals?), and therefore nontradable (online gambling?). They have also been portrayed as parasitic consumers of the value created in the truly productive primary and secondary sectors. The perception that services do not contribute to the "real" economy has undoubtedly contributed to the ongoing marginalization of the sector in the work of economic geographers. A review of several recent textbooks in the field shows a continued bias in favor of the manufacturing sector particularly in studies of transnational corporations, even though the bulk of foreign direct investment is in service activities. Producer services get significant attention, but mainly because of their role in facilitating primary and secondary production. Token chapters on services typically focus on retailing, through which the goods produced in the manufacturing sector are distributed to consumers. Yet in the United Kingdom in 2006, half of the household expenditures (excluding housing, fuel, water, pensions, and life insurance) were devoted to the purchase of services, more than half of which were for recreational and leisure activities.
