Beskrivning

Presenting a profound and far-reaching analysis of economic, ecological, social, cultural and political developments of contemporary capitalism, this book draws on the work of Karl Polanyi, and re-reads it for our times. The renowned authors offer key insights to current changes in the relations between the economy, politics and society, and their ecological and social effects. They explore the commodification of land, labour, money, care and knowledge, and analyse labour and social movements, right-wing populism and religious fundamentalism. Bringing together insights from different parts of the world and from historical, theoretical and empirical research, the book sheds light on important facets of the crisis-driven transformation of contemporary capitalism.Social and political science scholars will greatly benefit from this timely analysis of contemporary capitalism. Those researching economic history and the impact of Polanyi's work on the analysis of the modern society will also find this a useful read.Contributors include: R. Atzmüller, B. Aulenbacher, R.

Recensioner i media

'The book provides new historical and theoretical reflections on the work of Karl Polanyi and its relevance to today's movements and countermovements, including new fictitious commodities, such as knowledge and care, the rise of the populist right throughout the world and the transformation of labour markets.'--Marguerite Mendell, Director, Karl Polanyi Institute of Political Economy, Concordia University, Canada'What connects climate ecocide, soy expansion in Latin America, digital Taylorism, the commodification of care, and the rise of ''völkisch populism''? They're among the morbid symptoms of contemporary capitalism that are diagnosed in this important book.'--Gareth Dale, author of Karl Polanyi, A Life on the Left and Reconstructing Karl Polanyi: Excavation and Critique'Capitalism in Transformation is a work of cutting edge political economy that addresses, through the lens of Karl Polanyi, the fundamental issues of our times - the financial crises, austerity, climate catastrophe, social and gender inequality, and the pressing crisis of democracy. In a single provocative and essential volume, this collection reveals the analytic exhaustion of mainstream economics, and demonstrates why Karl Polanyi has become the indispensable theorist of our times.'--Margaret R. Somers and Fred Block, authors of The Power of Market Fundamentalism: Karl Polanyi's Critique
