The rise of populism across Europe and the US - first in the wake
of the 2008 global financial crisis and then in the shape of Donald
Trump's presidential campaign and the Brexit vote in 2016 - are
indicative of a seismic shift in the terrain of economic ideas in
public discourse. Settled liberal norms concerning ever-increasing
international market expansion, and the political integration
required to sustain it, have been decisively upset by political
forces that, whilst once on the fringes, now dominate economic
debate. How might we make sense of this ideological breakdown and
what might we hope for next? This book turns to the work of Karl
Polanyi for answers, developing the expansive, historicised
approach to political economy that Polanyi pioneered. Holmes
provides a wide-ranging history of economic ideas read in terms of
a series of hopeful theoretical visions of order, in which
political, social and ecological contradictions could be
transcended in one way or another. Through this, the book
demonstrates that the failing utopian visions of pre-2008 economic
orthodoxy, which have formed the backdrop to the rise of populism
today, are only the latest in a series that stretches across
economic thought in Western modernity as a whole. This book will
interest students and scholars of IPE, political science,
sociology, anthropology, law and history.
