Presenting a profound and far-reaching analysis of economic,
ecological, social, cultural and political developments of
contemporary capitalism, this book draws on the work of Karl
Polanyi, and re-reads it for our times. The renowned authors offer
key insights to current changes in the relations between the
economy, politics and society, and their ecological and social
effects. They explore the commodification of land, labour, money,
care and knowledge, and analyse labour and social movements,
right-wing populism and religious fundamentalism. Bringing together
insights from different parts of the world and from historical,
theoretical and empirical research, the book sheds light on
important facets of the crisis-driven transformation of
contemporary capitalism. Social and political science scholars will
greatly benefit from this timely analysis of contemporary
capitalism. Those researching economic history and the impact of
Polanyi's work on the analysis of the modern society will also find
this a useful read. Contributors include: R. Atzmuller, B.
