with 2001 foreword by Joseph E. Stiglitz, Fred Block on gold standard workings etc.
"Here is a book that makes most books
in its field seem obsolete or outworn.
So rare an event is a portent of the times.
Here, at a crucial hour, is a fresh
comprehension of the form arid meaning of human affairs.
Mr. Polanyi does not profess to be writing history — he is
rewriting it. He is not bringing a candle light into one of its
dark corners, nor is he plausibly making it the public
scripture of his private faith; instead, with insight as well as
with knowledge, he is shedding a new illumination on the
processes and revolutions of a whole age of unexampled change.
"Mr. Polanyi's immediate objective is to bring out, as he
does with remarkable discernment, the social implications of
a particular economic system, the market economy, that
grew into full stature in the 19th century."
