Summary

The content of the subject of economic geography should help economists master the basics of geographical thinking, i.e. learn to work with economic phenomena in spatial (regional) contexts. They should gain the ability to:
• distinguish individual parts of the earth's surface (continents, integration groupings, regions, state departments, etc.) based on the assumptions of more effective development of social and economic ties,
• perceive and understand the laws of spatial organization,
• create at least a reasonable idea of the fact that different types of economic activity bring different economic effects to people in different regions,
• recognize and objectively classify the consequences of natural and unnatural imbalances on a spatial scale,
• to be more realistically aware of the long-term need for the unity of a real global system despite the often significantly different value of the level of maturity of the regions and
• to recognize the tolerable level of the economy's impact on the now global effort for the sustainable development of humanity.
