Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Karl Polanyi was one of the most influential political economists of the twentieth-century and is widely regarded as the most gifted of social democrat theorists. In Reconstructing Karl Polanyi, Gareth Dale draws upon primary sources archived in the countries that Polanyi called homeâHungary, Austria, Britain, the United States, and Canadaâto provide a sweeping survey of his contribution to the social sciences.
Â
Polanyiâs intellectual and political outlook can best be summarized through paradoxical formulations such as âromantic modernistâ, âliberal socialistâ, and âcosmopolitan patriot.â In exploring these paradoxes, Dale excavates and reconstructs Polanyiâs views on a range of topics that have been neglected in the critical literature, including Keynesian economic policy, the evolution and dynamics of Stalinâs Russia, regional integration, and McCarthyism. He reinterprets Polanyiâs philosophy of history, his theory of democracy, and his economic historiography of Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia, and guides readers through Polyani's critical dialogue with Marxism. Â
Â
While the central threads and motifs of this study are intellectual-historiographical in nature, Dale also critically analyzes the views of Polanyi and his followers on issues of pressing present-day relevance, notably the clash between democracy and capitalism, and the nature and trajectory of European unification.
