Biography

Felix C. Müller is an economic geographer affiliated with the Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS) in Erkner near Berlin. He has researched dynamics of knowledge and value creation from the perspectives of relational economic geography as well as cultural economy.

"Connecting finance to our understanding of the geography of innovation is critical but has so far been largely ignored in economic geography. The relational perspective of this book discusses the role of finance in a language that connects to the heart of the economic geography discipline. A must-read for all economic geographers who study innovation." — Dr. R.P.J.H. (Roel) Rutten, Assistant Professor, Department of Organization Studies, Tilburg University
