| Summary: | Marshall pointed out that a specific form of industrial organisation (industrial districts) increased the wealth of some regions in England and Germany, and connected it with the accumulation of capital and investment, social capital, externalities and increasing returns.

He recognised that districts were a main territorial framework for knowledge-based economic growth. |
