书籍简介

在这本已被广泛公认为社会学思想中的经典之作中，波兰尼的主要关切是：造成十九世纪西方文明破灭的起因。波兰尼从社会经济史的角度勾勒了资本主义世界经济的要求与民族国家内部社会福利的追求两者之间的衝突，换言之，他以自由经济制度与社会制度之间的冲突过程来解释自律市场社会的建立和其后的破灭，此即十九世纪西方文明的崩溃，而这一崩溃的原因在于“社会为了避免被自律性市场之行动灭绝而採取的”自我保护措施。本书这一主题是波兰尼一生思想的总结。

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. His analysis explains not only the deficiencies of the self-regulating market, but the potentially dire social consequences of untempered market capitalism. New introductory material reveals the renewed importance of Polanyi's seminal analysis in an era of globalization and free trade.

卡尔·波兰尼（Karl Polanyi，1886年10月25日—1964年4月23日），匈牙利政治经济学家,社会学家，是20世纪公认的最彻底、最有辨识力的经济史学家。当法西斯主义兴起时，他离开了出生的匈牙利，成为英国公民。在其学术生涯中，曾先后在牛津大学的本宁顿学院和伦敦 大学教书。他以其对传统经济思想的批判和《巨变：当代政治与经济的起源》一书而闻名。

Karl Polanyi (1886-1964) is considered one of the twentieth century's most discerning economic historians. He left his position as senior editor of Vienna's leading financial and economic weekly in 1933, became a British citizen, taught adult extension programs for Oxford and London Universities, and held visiting chairs at Bennington College and Columbia University. He is co-author of Christianity and the Social Revolution; author of The Great Transformation; Trade and Market in Early Empires (with C.Arnsberg and H.Pearson) and posthumously, Dahomey and the Slave Trade (with A.Rotstein).

Joseph E. Stiglitz was formerly chair of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors, and chief economist of the World Bank. He is professor of economics at Stanford University, and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Fred Block is professor of sociology at the University of California, Davis.
