We encounter him here as an essayist, lecturer, social theorist and above all as an engaged public intellectual. The selection speaks very directly to our own concerns: on economy, history and freedom; on institutionalism as a method; on general economic history; on world crisis and transformation. This really is a Polanyi for our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Hart, London School of Economics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI am delighted to see the publication of this collection of writings (many unpublished) of Karl Polanyi over a very long period. It is more than welcome. Karl Polanyi is one of a very rare breed - important thinkers who are always intelligent, incisive, and wide-ranging, and who ground their arguments in a deep knowledge of history. Even when one disagrees with him, one has to take his views into account, lest you miss out on a long-term perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI personally was profoundly affected by his marvelous book, The Great Transformation, both for its substantive arguments and its epistemological framework. That Polanyi is having a revival today is one of the most encouraging things about the current epoch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eImmanuel Wallerstein, Yale University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface by Kari Polanyi Levitt\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Giorgio Resta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI.
