Kultur und Ethnos
Kultur und Ethnos
P olanyi, K arl (1886–1964)
Karl Polanyi was a social philosopher, economic historian, and economic anthropologist who formulated a substantivist theory of economy and a classification of economic systems according to their forms of integration. His key concepts of reciprocity and redistribution have been absorbed into economic anthropology. His analysis of the emergence of a market‐dominated society and its social, political, and moral consequences has a lasting relevance

This case puts into question whether economic models of the directio…

The chapters bring out striking differences between the countries considered: the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary; they also draw attenti…
