Legacy of Karl Polanyi

The distinguished contributors to this volume speak to the resonance of Polanyi's analysis of nineteenth-century liberalism and the collapse of the international economy in the 1920s to contemporary society, which has once again enshrined the values of individualism and the free market. Polanyi's compelling analysis forms the basis for a theoretical perspective with which to comprehend the relations between the market, the state and society at the twentieth century, and the new forms of resistance which are emerging throughout the world as the market no longer confronts ideological boundaries.Mendell, Marguerite is the author of 'Legacy of Karl Polanyi', published 1991 under ISBN 9780312047832 and ISBN 0312047835.
