Economy of representation and difference

From Geography

The most important thought in economy of representation is that small structures are prefered over large ones and other things are seen equal (Grimshaw, 2001). The same counts for (social) constructions. Social constructions which contain fewer people or objectives are being preferred over social constructions with a bigger variety of people/objectives. This is done because it gives more representation for the people how include some economy (or in geography a region).
