Cangiani, M. and Thomasberger, C. (Eds.). (2018). Karl Polanyi. Economy & Society. Cambridge: Polity Press. 

‘Few figures are more crucial to understanding the upheavals of our contemporary era than Karl Polanyi. In a world riven by social and economic crises, from rising inequality to the decay of democratic institutions and profound technological disruption, Polanyi’s path-breaking account of the dynamics of market capitalism and his defence of society and nature against the dangerous tendencies of the market capitalist system are more relevant than ever.

This book brings together Polanyi’s most important articles and essays to give a unique selection of his essential shorter writings, mixing classic texts with significant but previously little-known pieces. It highlights the coherence and richness of Polanyi’s theoretical and political approach, making it indispensable for understanding his overarching intellectual contribution. The volume includes his interwar writings, which deal with the world economic crisis and the socialist alternative to conservative and fascist developments; his reflection on political theory and the international situation after the war; and his comparative studies of economic institutions. Polanyi’s political writings are complemented and supported by the critique of economic determinism and what he termed ‘our obsolete market mentality’.

This book is an invaluable companion to Polanyi’s masterpiece, The Great Transformation, and an essential resource for students and scholars of political economy, sociology, history and political philosophy.

Brie, M. and Thomasberger, C. (Eds.). (2017). Karl Polanyi’s Vision of a Socialist Transformation. Montréal: Black Rose Books.

The political and economic turmoil of the decade following the financial crisis has seen a resurgence of interest in the work of philosopher and social theorist Karl Polanyi (1886-1964). International grassroots resistance, as well as neo-fascist reactions, to the austerity, alienation and environmental upheaval of neo-liberalism is widely seen as lending support to the main theses of Polanyi’s 1944 masterpiece The Great Transformation. However, the overtly socialist aspects of Polanyi’s work are often understated. In Karl Polanyi’s Vision of a Socialist Transformation, leading researchers Michael Brie (Rosa Luxemburg Foundation) and Claus Thomasberger (University of Applied Sciences, Berlin) redress this balance, bringing together central figures in Polanyi studies to provide an essential introduction to the contemporary importance of Polanyi’s thinking on freedom, community, and the socialist transformation of market society. This book also includes five essays by Polanyi translated into English for the first time. 

The book features essays from Nancy Fraser (New School for Social Research, New York), Kari Polanyi Levitt and Gareth Dale.
