Description

Explore the deep-seated institutional crises facing modern democratic industrial societies through this study of Karl Polanyi. Many contemporary societies struggle with economic systems that obstruct human life and political structures that serve vested interests rather than the public good. This book examines how these economic and political roots lead to widespread frustration and anxiety instead of creativity and joy. Karl Polanyi, a Hungarian emigre, witnessed the actual cataclysms caused by political and economic instability. This work analyzes his powerful social economic theory, which was developed to address the institutional impasse of his time. By studying his perspectives, readers gain a better understanding of the relationship between economic systems and the human experience. This text provides a necessary look at the theories used to analyze and address the challenges of modern political economy.
