Summary

Karl Polanyi's belief that the greatest threat to freedom was a poorly administered economy led him to an economics that was more existential and human-centered. Part I of this book develops Polanyi's thinking for its significance today through a selection of papers on re-reading his major work entitled "The Great Transformation," Part II looks at the life and work of Ilona Duczynska (Polanyi's wife), political activist, writer and translator and important influence over Karl and his work. Kenneth McRobbie, a poet and historian who teaches at the University of British Columbia, is the editor of "Humanity, Society and Commitment," Kari Polanyi Levitt, emeritus professor at McGill University, is the editor of "The Life and Work of Karl Polanyi,"
