The work of Karl Polanyi has become a central reference point for
scholars in a variety of traditions and disciplines within the
social sciences, including international relations, international
political economy, economic sociology and economic anthropology.
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Polanyi's
political and economic thought by examining the key themes that run
throughout it: economic ideas, commodification, money, the gold
standard, geopolitical economy, the state, class, fascism,
democracy and knowledge. Each chapter introduces the relevant
aspects of Polanyi's writings, covering important terminology and
the position of the theme in relation to his work more broadly. The
contributions seek to engage critically with Polanyi's ideas,
analysing both the strengths and weaknesses, as well as
highlighting continuing points of relevance to contemporary issues
and debates. The book celebrates the diversity of Polanyi's
political and economic thought whilst encouraging the reader to see
it as a whole and not as a set of fragmented concepts. It is an
ideal introduction for students engaging with Polanyi's work for
the first time.
