Well, it seems that geographers no longer live on the periphery of economic policy. The [World Bank](http://www.worldbank.org/”World Bank”)’s new [World Development Report](http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTWDR2009/Resources/Outline.pdf”World Development Report Outline”) is on the topic of spatial disparities and development policy. Having looked through the outline, it seems that they have been reading too much Paul Krugman, and perhaps not enough of anything else in economic geography. But more on that later.
