Produktinformationen zu „For a New West (PDF)“
At a recent meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, it was
reported that a ghost was haunting the deliberations of the
assembled global elite - that of the renowned social scientist and
economic historian, Karl Polanyi.
In his classic work, The Great Transformation, Polanyi
documented the impact of the rise of market society on western
civilization and captured better than anyone else the destructive
effects of the economic, political and social crisis of the 1930s.
Today, in the throes of another Great Recession, Polanyi's
work has gained a new significance. To understand the profound
challenges faced by our democracies today, we need to revisit
history and revisit his work.
In this new collection of unpublished texts - lectures, draft
essays and reports written between 1919 and 1958 - Polanyi examines
the collapse of the liberal economic order and the demise of
democracies in the inter-war years. He takes up again the
fundamental question that preoccupied him throughout his work - the
place of the economy in society - and aims to show how we might
return to an economy anchored in society and its cultural,
religious and political institutions.
For anyone concerned about the danger to democracy and social life
posed by the unleashing of capital from regulatory control and the
dominance of the neoliberal ideologies of market fundamentalism,
this important new volume by one of the great thinkers of the
twentieth century is a must-read.
