The Polanyi Library
The Polanyi Library is a catalogue of resources about Karl Polanyi, his life, work and thought sorted out by topics. Its aim is to help researchers, students or people who are simply interested in Polanyi to find relevant academic sources. I only list papers and books that I've read so the library will be updated regularly.

Thanks for this, and for the blog; it is useful.
ReplyDeleteAssuming you read French, you should read "La nature dans une société de marché", Chapter 7 of Pierre Charbonnier's Abondance et Liberté: Une histoire environmentale des idées politiques (La Découverte, 2020). Actually, you should read the whole book; it is excellent, and as far as I'm concerned chapter 7 is the keystone chapter. If you don't read French, I understand that there is a translation in the works.
Hi Jim, thanks for the recommandation! I know Abondance et Liberté is very good on Polanyi and his conception of the relationship between the market and the environment. It's on my reading list!
DeleteYou claim that Polanyi gave little indication of what system would replace capitalism, but it appears that he was quite certain of his vision of "functional socialism" as the only viable solution to our problems...
