Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2021Karl Polanyi and twenty-first-century capitalism
by Radhika Desai, Kari Polanyi Levitt
As far right movements, social disintegration and international conflict emerge from the decay of the neoliberal order, Karl Polanyi's warnings against the unbridled domination of markets, is ever more relevant. The essays in Karl Polanyi for the 21st Century extend the boundaries of our understanding of Polanyi's life and work. They will interest Polanyi scholars and all interested in socialism and our future after neoliberalism. One asks whether, following Keynes and Hayek, Polanyi's ideas will shape the twenty-first century. Some clarify, for the meaning of money as a fictitious commodity. Others resolve difficulties in understanding the building blocks of Polanyi's thought: fictitious commodities, the double movement, the United States' exceptional development, the reality of society, and socialism as freedom in a complex society. And yes others explore how Polanyi sheds light on income inequality, world systems theory, comparative political economy.

New perspectives on the place of the economy in society
by Edited by Mark Harvey, Ronnie Ramlogan and Sally Randles
The work of Karl Polanyi has gained in influence in recent years to become a point of reference to a wide range of leading authors in the fields of economics, politics, sociology and social policy. Newly available in paperback, this volume is a combination of reflections on, and assessment of, the nature of Polanyi's contribution and new strands of work, both theoretical and empirical, that has been inspired by Polanyi's 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 'instituted economic process' in considering a broad range of contemporary socio-economic change: markets for mobile telephony, call centre operations and European labour markets.

The Hungarian writings
by Edited by Gareth Dale
This is the first work to offer a collection of Polanyi's texts never before published in English. The book presents articles, papers, lectures, speeches, notes, and draft manuscripts, mostly written between 1907 and 1923, with the exception of a few later texts. Organised thematically around religion, ethics, ideology, world politics and Hungarian politics, the topics include contemporary thinkers, the Galilei Circle, the Tisza government, the Aster and the Bolshevik Revolutions, the Councils Republic, the Radical Citizens' Party, Hungarian democracy, the national question, political conviction, fatalism, British socialism, political theory and violence, and more. Each section includes a discussion of the political and intellectual contexts in which the texts were written. Karl Polanyi: The Hungarian writings is an outstanding and essential resource that brings to light for the first time the works of a key thinker who is relevant to today's study of globalisation, neoliberalism, social movements, and international social policy.

May 1985Implizites Wissen
Übersetzt von Horst Brühmann
by Michael Polanyi, Horst Brühmann
Polanyi untersucht das menschliche Erkennen ausgehend von der Tatsache, »daß wir mehr wissen, als wir zu sagen wissen«. Diese Einsicht, die die Gestaltpsychologie vornehmlich anhand der Wahrnehmung untersucht hat, gilt für alle Formen des theoretischen und praktischen Wissens, von somatischen Prozessen angefangen über praktische Fertigkeiten und Geschicklichkeiten (eines Handwerkers, Athleten oder Klaviervirtuosen) bis hin zur wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis. Ihnen allen ist eine Struktur gemein, die sich als Integration von Einzelmerkmalen zu einer kohärenten Einheit beschreiben läßt, aber so, daß wir dabei unsere Aufmerksamkeit von den einzelnen Merkmalen abziehen (wir erkennen ein Gesicht an seinen einzelnen Zügen wieder, aber so, daß wir gerade nicht auf diese einzelnen Züge achten). Diese Struktur findet Polanyi jedoch nicht nur im Akt des Verstehens, sondern auch im Verstandenen selbst. Die Beziehung einer komplexen Entität zu ihren einzelnen Elementen ließe sich demnach als die Beziehung zwischen zwei Realitätsschichten betrachten, wobei die ›obere‹ die Randbedingungen angibt, die von den auf der ›unteren‹ Ebene herrschenden Prinzipien nicht festgelegt worden sind. Die Hierarchie dieser Ebenen ordnet sich so zu einer schichtenförmigen Ontologie. Aus der Idee, daß die blinden Flecke im Wissen keine temporären Defizite, sondern einen notwendigen Bestandteil des Wissens ausmachen, entwickelt Polanyi eine radikale Kritik am Selbstverständnis der Wissenschaft und der Moderne überhaupt. Auch wenn die Geburt der modernen Wissenschaft im Zeichen einer entschiedenen Abkehr von der Autorität stand, beruht Wissenschaft in beträchtlichem Maße auf Tradition und Autorität, auf unbefragten und auch gar nicht restlos befragbaren Vorannahmen, metaphysischen Überzeugungen und persönlichen Entscheidungen. Das aufklärerische Ideal eines moralisch neutralen, streng objektiven, restlos transparenten Wissens wird angesichts jener Struktur die dem Wissen stets einen Teil seiner selb

True stories2020Patty Pan Compote
by Olha Kari
"Patty Pan Compote" is a series of reportage sketches and essays describing how a whole generation of Ukrainians lived amidst the chaos of declining Soviet Union. This book is about what it was like to live in the 90's, when "pineapple" compote was cooked from the patty pat and eggplant became the substitute for mushrooms, when everyone was gripped by a total knitting obsession due to the lack of clothes. People grew accustomed to stockpiling absolutely everything, and the first sanitary pads have just begun to change the lives of Ukrainian women. Based on her own recollections, the author tells how the punitive gastronomy of that time worked, how the pseudo-brotherly relations with other Soviet republics often manifested themselves and how Abkhazia hosted Ukrainian schoolchildren a few months before the war between Georgia and Abkhazia.
