Beskrivning
As far right movements, social disintegration and international conflict emerge from the decay of the neoliberal order, Karl Polanyi’s warnings against the unbridled domination of markets, is ever more relevant. The essays in Karl Polanyi for the 21st Century extend the boundaries of our understanding of Polanyi's life and work. They will interest Polanyi scholars and all interested in socialism and our future after neoliberalism. One asks whether, following Keynes and Hayek, Polanyi’s ideas will shape the twenty-first century. Some clarify, for the meaning of money as a fictitious commodity. Others resolve difficulties in understanding the building blocks of Polanyi's thought: fictitious commodities, the double movement, the United States' exceptional development, the reality of society, and socialism as freedom in a complex society. And yet others explore how Polanyi sheds light on income inequality, world systems theory, comparative political economy.

'This book shows just how contemporary the thought of Karl Polanyi is today. Ably organised chapters trace various elements of his thinking, from the famous ‘double movement’ to his relevance for constructing a better world beyond neoliberal capitalism.'Ronaldo Munck, Professor of International Development, Dublin City University'Why is the interest in Karl Polanyi spreading so widely in our neoliberal times? This book brilliantly looks for an answer to this question. A deeper understanding of Polanyi’s social theory and political philosophy is fruitfully applied to the analysis of both permanent aspects and current problems of our society.'Michele Cangiani, former Professor of Economic Sociology, Università Ca'Foscari Venezia, Italy'This volume testifies that scholarship on Polanyi and Polanyian critique of our times is getting stronger day by day. The fresh insights and the new provocative debates launched in this collection are clear signs of this vitality.'Attila Melegh, Director of Karl Polanyi Research Center, Corvinus University of Budapest'This book brings new insights to Polanyi scholarship. Readers are taken on a journey through the evolution of Polanyi’s thought and into conversation with him about today’s complex societal challenges. The originality of this book is its intersection between the political economy and social philosophy of Karl Polanyi.'Marguerite Mendell, Professor Emerita, Karl Polanyi Institute of Political Economy, Concordia University'This book is a treasure trove of ideas and provocations for future work. Even for those who have some doubt about aspects of Polanyi’s legacy these diverse chapters show, in a very convincing manner, what a rich contribution he has left for us, including The Great Transformation but going much further and wider than that. At the very least we need to continue our dialogue with Polanyi and his ideas, for our understanding of our current crises and dilemmas will be greatly enriched in the process.'Marx and Philosophy
