Description
Karl Polanyi's selected writings offer a unique perspective on the dynamics of market capitalism and its impact on society. This collection brings together key articles and essays, including interwar pieces that address the world economic crisis and socialist alternatives to conservative and fascist developments. Polanyi's work provides a critical analysis of political theory and international relations after World War II, as well as comparative studies of economic institutions. His writings also challenge the notion of economic determinism and what he terms 'our obsolete market mentality'. This book is an invaluable companion to Polanyi's masterpiece, The Great Transformation. A valuable resource for students and scholars of political economy, sociology, history, and political philosophy, this collection provides a comprehensive understanding of Polanyi's intellectual contribution.
