Title:
Karl Polanyi on Ethics and Economics: Foreword by Marguerite Mendell
Author: Baum, Gregory
Subjects: Economics ; Economics-Moral and ethical aspects ; Economists-Hungary ; Moral and ethical aspects ; Philosophy ; Polanyi, Karl, 1886-1964
Description: Exploring Polanyi's lesser-known works as well as The Great Transformation, Baum provides a more complete and nuanced understanding of Polanyi's thought. He examines Polanyi's interpretation of modern economic and social history, clarifies the ethical presuppositions present in Polanyi's work, and addresses how Polanyi's understanding of the relation between ethics and economics touches on many issues relevant to the contemporary debate about the world's economic future. Baum argues that we should look to Polanyi's understanding of modern capitalism to reinstate the social discourse and, in political practice, the principles of reciprocity and solidarity. He points to examples, both in Canada and abroad, of attempts to formulate alternative models of economic development and to create new forms of institutional and cultural intervention.
