Description
Considers the interplay of economic ideas and institutional change by examining two significant periods: the 1930s when workers demanded institutional change to mitigate economic disfunction and the 1970s when institutions demanded that market-mitigating constraints be changed.
First Sentence
While Polanyi's description of the economic disorder caused by the self-regulating market still has great resonance, his prediction of that same market's denouement seems precipitous, at least with the benefit of hindsight.
