Karl Polanyi in 2018: Steven Klein with Mate Rigo
Political theorist Steven Klein makes a powerful case as to why Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation has to be read today. Polanyi provides an alternative for both pro-market globalism and nationalist populism and prefigures current concerns with environmentalism as well. Does he provide a hopeful scenario for the future of capitalism? Is Polanyi merely Marx 2.0? Klein explains both The Great Transformation's key ideas and history or reception since WWII.
