I see that Penguin are reissuing Karl Polanyi's Great Transformation as a Penguin Classic.

About time; for many critical political economists Polanyi has been one of the key figures underpinning work on social forces in economics.

The last re-release (the 'third edition') had a high profile forward by Joseph Stiglitz, this edition has a forward by well known Polanyi scholar Gareth Dale.

If you only read on book on economics this year, make it the Great Transformation.

I see the Observer has a Polanyi piece today.

Indeed, that was prompted my post - I didn't link to it as the author seemed to think Poianyi was a lot more obscure & under-published than he actually is....
