However, while working at the customs office, I thought deeply about the matter and concluded it was far too difficult a subject. I then turned to Physics as a substitute." Albert Einstein, great scientist is reported to have said in despair about Geography. The present series aptly titled “Geography Made Simple” is our humble attempt at removing fear of Geography subject from minds of students by presenting books that are written in lucid, simple and easy-to-understand language. The present eBook in full colours caters to needs of students of as diverse a field as Economic Geography, International Trade, Management, Economics, Political Economy, Commerce, Industrial Geography, Regional planning and development, International Business Management, Foreign Trade, International Finance, Trade and Transport Geography, etc. This evergreen book has stood the test of time since its first edition was published in October, 2002. This book is recommended as a reference-book by Geography teachers and used as a text-book by undergrads and postgraduate students even today. This second edition carries a 'Preface' by Jaiprakash Jadhav, Head of Geography Department, Dr. D. Y. Patil Arts, Commerce & Science College, Pimpri in Pune, India. Praise for Geography, Economics & Economic Geography “Hello, Parmar! Thanks for introducing the book of Economic Geography. I got it from my friend. I am modern college student of MA. I am Ram Shripati Payal.”-Ram Shripati Payal, student of Modern College, Pune “Hi there! I just clicked on the website where your book will appear next month. I will try to do it next month…as I’m teaching Economic Geography in the fall at CWU. I haven’t used a text in a couple of years because I didn’t like any on the market. Thanks for your help!”-Ms Nancy, Central Washington University Jaiprakash Jadhav, Head of Geography Department, Dr. D. Y. Patil Arts, Commerce & Science College, Pimpri had presented in 2003 a few hardcopies of this eBook to the members of national accreditation agency, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) as the evidence of high quality of education at the College. He later personally acknowledged before Sher Singh Parmar that outstanding quality of his book made NAAC give a higher credible rating to Geography Department, Dr. D. Y. Patil Arts, Commerce & Science College. Noteworthy Features Possibly until the publication of the second edition of the book “Geography, Economics and Economic Geography” by Sher Singh Parmar in October, 2003, the Indian intelligentsia, Indian and the world mass media had not attributed the liberalization of the Indian economy to the Balance-of-Payment Crisis that India had faced in the year 1991. It was possibly for the first time in the world that this second edition by Sher Singh Parmar correctly pointed out, described and explained the balance-of-payment crisis faced by the Indian government in 1991 to be the main cause that had forced India into adopting the liberalization-mode for the Indian economy. The book contains for the first time many of the Economic terms/jargons that have been rephrased/paraphrased/elaborated/redefined/repurposed to make these Economic terms inclusive, better and more understandable. For example, see following definition of the term Trade included in this e-book: "10.2 BASIC CONCEPTS 1. TRADE: Exchange of goods, services or information." The definition of TRADE given above by Sher Singh Parmar is more inclusive than the following definition of TRADE that had been given until then in numerous Standard Texts/Books on subject of Economics: "TRADE: Exchange of goods" The book introduces altogether new fresh concepts called idealised perfectly balanced pentagonal model and realistic isostasically balanced amorphous model to understand economic landscapes. Author applies these two economic models to real life situations past and present to successfully build his thesis that "...even a slight imbalance in economic landscapes at any level is sufficient enough to engineer political and other problems. World peace may be achieved if the whole globe is developed into a perfectly balanced economic landscape." He brings in new insight to understand and appreciate dignity of labour in light of these new concepts. This new conceptual framework introduced by author definitely helps us understand and resolve present day problems in much better and peaceful ways. The book introduces new concepts of Economic Liberalization Model, Four Stages of Globalization model, and Tricellular LPG model. These models give us fresh incisive insight into vexing issues of Globalization, Liberalization, and Privatisation. Worth mentioning also is author's creative description, elaboration, and explanation of factors of international trade and business.
