that book on Karly Polanyi

[Dave Monroe]

"Were we to foreground the development, albeit uneven, of democracy,
as do some authors, we would miss the major axis, which in their
different ways, Marx, Weber, and Polanyi highlighted: the spread of a
general logic of human relations subject to the rule of maximum
profit."
