About the book
Karl Polanyi presents a revolutionary thesis on the origin of modern market economies and their effects on society. The author argues that the "illusion of the self-regulating market" is a dangerous myth, tracing how the market economy emerged historically and how it broke with traditional social structures.
A profound reflection on the tension between market and society, the book remains essential for understanding contemporary dilemmas between deregulated capitalism and social cohesion.
