Back Jacket
As the neoliberal order decays and morbid symptoms such as far right movements appear, Karl Polanyi is becoming more relevant than ever. Best known for The Great Transformation, Polanyi anticipated twenty-first century civilizational challenges of ecological collapse, social disintegration, and international conflict, warning that the unbridled domination of market capitalism would engender nationalist protective counter-movements.
Radhika Desai and Kari Polanyi Levitt bring together prominent and new thinkers in the field to extend the boundaries of our understanding of Polanyi's life and work, examining why Polanyi's thinking resonates so widely today.Author Biography
