This book offers a critical reconstruction of the double movement,
the central thesis of Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation, one
of the most influential books of the 20th century. The double
movement is the establishment of a free market economy and the
subsequent effort by society to ameliorate the destructive effects
of the market. In Polanyi's bold vision, the double movement
constituted the hidden gear of social change and historical
transformation within capitalism. The book is a forensic
examination and critique of Polanyi's argument. It develops an
interpretive framework of the double movement as four interrelated
social processes: the establishment of the self-regulating market,
the rise of a market society that deepens and extends market
imperatives, a social protection phase that constrains the market
and safeguards society, and the contradictions and crises that
result from this clash of social principles. The book will be an
indispensable guide for students and scholars across the social
sciences which illuminates the relevance of Polanyi's insights to a
critical understanding of the contemporary era -the scourge of
insecurity and inequality, the multiple crises of neoliberalism,
the rise of right wing populism- as well as those interested in
egalitarian and emancipatory alternatives to capitalism.
