Karl Polanyi's demanding vision of freedom and democracy seems far from the reality of our times and current ideologies. However, a deeper analysis reveals the ability of his political philosophy not only to find a solution of the paradox of liberty in spite of social constraints, indeed through social institutions, but also to answer the most important practical question with which we are confronted: that of improving, as Polanyi says, "our chances of survival." The conception synthetically expounded in the last pages of The Great Transformation can be better clarified through some of Polanyi's recently published manuscripts of the interwar period. A reference is also to be made to Karl Marx in the first place but also to other more recent authors
