Book excerpt: In this classic work of economic history and social theory, Karl Polanyi analyzes the economic and social changes brought about by the "great transformation" of the Industrial Revolution.

New introductory material reveals the renewed importance of Polanyi's seminal analysis in an era of globalization and free trade.
