*Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2017* Karl Polanyi's
contribution to political economy and social science is
immeasurable. In Reconstructing Karl Polanyi, Gareth Dale, foremost
scholar and biographer of Polanyi, provides a sweeping survey of
his contributions to the social sciences. An opponent of
traditional economics and a believer in economics' contingency to
society and culture, Polanyi's work has a cross-disciplinary
appeal, finding popularity in anthropology, economic history,
economic sociology and political science. Paradoxical formulations,
such as 'liberal socialist' and 'cosmopolitan patriot', are often
used to describe Polanyi's intellectual and political vision. In
exploring these paradoxes, Dale draws upon original writings and
transcripts to reconstruct Polanyi's views on a range of topics
long neglected in critical literature; including the history of
antiquity, the evolution and dynamics of Stalin's Russia,
McCarthyism and Polanyi's critical dialogue with Marxism.
Accompanying the reconstruction of his work is Dale's analysis of
Polanyi's relevance to current issues, notably the 'clash' between
democracy and capitalism, and the nature and trajectory of European
unification. This proves an indispensable critical guide to
Polanyian thought.
