Biographical note

Karl Polanyi (1886-1964) is considered one of the twentieth century's most prophetic and perceptive economic historians and social theorists. After fleeing his native Hungary and Austria with the rise of fascism, he became a British citizen. During his academic career he taught for the Workers' Educational Association and at Bennington College and Columbia University. He wrote 'The Essence of Fascism', The Great Transformation, and (with A. Rotstein) Dahomey and the Slave Trade.

<b>‘One of the most powerful books in social sciences ever written. </b>Polanyi convincingly shows that market fundamentalism, the religion of competition and the commodification of social relations largely contributed to fragilize Western societies and to lead to the authoritarian and totalitarian nightmare of 1914-1945. The same risk applies today at the global scale. <b>A must-read.’ </b>

With this book Karl Polanyi explained the rise of fascism in the 1920s and 30s. Today <b>his great work</b> sheds light on the worldwide rise of authoritarianism, and on our predicament. It is as <b>essential and relevant</b> as it was in 1944.

<b>Polanyi's vision for an alternative economy</b> re-embedded in politics and social relations <b>offers a refreshing alternative</b>

‘One of the most powerful books in the social sciences ever written’ Thomas Piketty'The twentieth century's most prophetic critic of capitalism' Prospect‘Polanyi’s revolutionary work is a must-read’ Mariana MazzucatoKarl Polanyi's landmark 1944 work is one of the earliest and most powerful critiques of unregulated markets. Tracing the history of capitalism from the great transformation of the industrial revolution onwards, he shows that there has been nothing 'natural' about the market state. Instead of reducing human relations and our environment to mere commodities, the economy must always be embedded in civil society. Describing the 'avalanche of social dislocation' of his time, Polanyi’s hugely influential work is a passionate call to protect our common humanity.‘Polanyi's vision for an alternative economy re-embedded in politics and social relations offers a refreshing alternative’ Guardian‘Polanyi exposes the myth of the free market’ Joseph E.
