Description

Explore Karl Polanyi's groundbreaking social and economic theory through this comprehensive analysis of his intellectual legacy. As a Hungarian emigre who witnessed the political and economic crises of the twentieth century, Polanyi developed powerful frameworks for understanding the institutional failures of democratic industrial societies. This Palgrave Macmillan publication examines how modern economies undermine human flourishing and how political systems become entangled with economic interests. Discover Polanyi's analytical approach to the roots of institutional crisis and his vision for reconstructing economies that serve livelihood rather than subordinate human welfare to market forces. Essential reading for scholars and students of economic history, political economy, and social theory seeking to understand the conflicts between market systems and human needs.

Key Features

Karl Polanyi's economic theory addresses how industrial societies' institutions create anxiety and frustration rather than enabling human creativity and wellbeing.

The book examines Polanyi's analysis of political economies subordinate to economic interests and the systemic crises this subordination produces.

Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this work draws on Polanyi's firsthand experience of twentieth-century political and economic upheaval in Europe.

Comprehensive exploration of how Polanyi's social and economic theories apply to understanding modern institutional impasse and economic reform.
