Commercial Geography

Commercial geography – is a work which was published in 1897 and written by Edward Carter Kearsey Gonner, an English economist. Geography is a complex of natural and social sciences that study the structure, functioning and evolution of the geographic envelope, the interaction and distribution in space of natural and natural-social geosystems and their components, as well as the study of the human environment. Accordingly, a human must observe, organize and describe the physical conditions in which he lives, and indicate what role they respectively play in determining the course of his development and the nature of his occupations. The scientific study of geography includes the performance of two main faculties and entails the performance of two functions by students. Commercial geography is not a separate branch of geography. It is simply accounting for geographic facts as they serve specific purposes and trigger specific events. Studying it, we confine ourselves to a limited view of general geography. The question is no longer asked how certain facts affect a person, but the question is how they affect him in his industries, trade and agriculture, or, speaking in the most general form, as a producer and a consumer. This study is practical because it teaches: Various industrial or commercial occupations in different countries, regions and cities; Places of production of various goods (food, raw materials or manufactured goods); The relations that unite them, for example, one country buys from another, as England buys raw cotton from the United States of America; Conditions on which national success in various industrial or commercial professions depends. Thus, knowledge of commercial geography indicates the directions in which development may take place in the future.
