“I think that everyone should read The Great Transformation – and when I say everyone, I really do mean everyone. It can be read in many different ways. For us academics, I think we love finding some of the hidden subtleties and nuances within it. But it doesn’t mean you have to be an academic or trained as a political economist to find lots and lots of things of real interest within this book. So, if you’re interested in the nature of the world, how the world came to be how it is and what the arguments might be for trying to rethink some of the ‘certainties’ about modern economic life, then you can do a whole lot worse than reading Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation.”
