Ideal for students, academics, and professionals interested in economic theory, social policy, and contemporary socio-economic change inspired by Karl Polanyi's scholarship.

This volume makes a significant contribution to the new economic sociology. It draws upon a Polanyian foundation but moves forward, developing neo-Polanyian agendas in relation to developments of contemporary capitalism.

Description

The work of Karl Polanyi has gained influence in recent years, becoming a point of reference for a wide range of leading authors in the fields of economics, politics, sociology, and social policy.

Newly available in paperback, this volume combines reflections on and assessments of the nature of Polanyi's contribution with new strands of work, both theoretical and empirical, inspired by his insights. It gathers together the key contributions to the first-ever workshop on the work of Karl Polanyi held in the United Kingdom.

Several of the contributions develop Polanyian ideas in relation to contemporary capitalism. However, in a critical spirit, other contributions in the volume substantially transform his concept of the 'instituted economic process' when considering a broad range of contemporary socio-economic changes, including markets for mobile telephony, call centre operations, and European labour markets.
