Opis

The Hungarian-born thinker Karl Polanyi (1886-1964) is renowned for his seminal work The Great Transformation (1944) and his writings on political economy. This volume presents a collection of texts never before published in English, including articles, papers, lectures, speeches, notes and draft manuscripts, mostly written between 1907 and 1923.

Organised thematically around religion, ethics, ideology, world politics and Hungarian politics, the topics include contemporary thinkers, 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, the influential youth organization 'The Galilei Circle' and more.

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 whose oeuvre is relevant to today's study of globalisation, neoliberalism, social movements and international social policy.
