The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time by Karl Polanyi

The false and dysfunctional demagogue of the free market created fascism. Plur.
I mean seriously though, how can one expect society to reach peace or be just under profit-oriented ideology? There will always be protectionism put in place, and institutionalized privatization that is “justified” over others’ freedoms.
Mostly a lot of the economic stuff went over my head but overall the book still deeply impressed on me. I will reread perhaps when my crow’s feet start to come in.
