Has politics reached breaking point? Rather than defending
liberalism or abandoning it, how can a socially just and ecological
alternative be built? Peadar Kirby investigates the causes of our
current multifaceted global crisis by drawing on the work of Karl
Polanyi. This book explores Polanyi's theory that social
disruptions result from the attempt to run society according to the
rules of the market. Drawing on these ideas, it outlines pathways
towards an alternative future that overcome weaknesses in Marxism.
Linking the ecological, political and socio-economic crises, Kirby
identifies that an alternative socio-ecological model is emerging,
consistent with the insights of Polanyi. Karl Polanyi and the
Contemporary Political Crisis is an urgent intervention into key
debates on the future of politics, on the low-carbon transition, on
automation and on the emerging world order.
