O conhecimento e o território são estudados principalmente por duas ramificações teóricas: pelo enraizamento, baseado em Karl Polanyi e pelo conhecimento tácito, desenvolvido por Michael Polanyi. O objetivo desse artigo é, a partir de uma revisão das duas teorias, propor o uso delas como ferramenta de análise de indicações geográficas e aplicar esta análise ao caso da produção do Queijo Minas Artesanal.  A metodologia utilizada foi o levantamento bibliográfico primário e pesquisa de campo na...

Information policy has become one of the key instruments for the commodification and marketization of goods in contemporary capitalism. However, the spatializing role of this and other legal regimes has not been explored in depth. Among the categories of goods whose production and circulation is shaped by information policy, geographic information is increasingly salient in the digital economy due to the strategic and economic value derived from its integration of location and context. This...

This article argues that we are witnessing a fundamental transformation of capitalism. Under the auspices of an economic shift, social reproduction and constituent care and care work are undergoing a process of reorganization. The first part draws on Karl Polanyi’s analysis of the relation between market and society and on contemporary revisions of his approach. Referring to core arguments from his perspective on the market society it identifies processes of commodification, marketization...

The collapse of the Soviet Union brought a series of economic reforms: privatization, increased foreign direct investment and weakened benefits. Correspondingly, some scholars expected trade unions to serve as a major contribution to the development of a democratic civil society that would serve as a Polanyian double movement to these disruptive reforms. However, Russia's steelworkers have stood out as particularly weak and unwilling to strike due to their dependence on their employer for...

Karl Polanyi's main thesis is the effective separation of society and economy, placing the economy above the society. This artificial separation will be carried out by a series of theoretical tools and mechanisms -the introduction of fictitious goods and economic rationalism as a social premise- that will blind an overall view of the social panorama, focusing only on the economic aspects of it, causing that way, an unprecedented human crisis. (English)

Most people read Karl Polanyi today because his critique of laissez faire capitalism seems remarkably applicable to our neoliberal times. Although his late work on ancient and ‘archaic’ economies has enjoyed a consistent specialist readership, Polanyi is best known today for his 1944 magnum opus, The Great Transformation (henceforth GT). Covering a large sweep of mostly European history, the GT seeks to show that the attempt to create a ‘self-regulating market’ was a radical and recent...

This paper looks at the European integration project in its current iteration drawing on Karl Polanyi's assertion that markets are inseparable from the socio-cultural context. In this regard, all attempts to liberalise the economy (not excluding European integration, which is based on the principle of the single market) have practical and indeed tangible political ramifications. The main hypothesis of the paper lies in the recognition of the fact that the neoliberal agenda is one of the...

This article is devoted to the study of the food regime, a concept little known in Russian academic literature. The author identifies the "theoretical and methodological platform" of the concept using a comparative approach and retrospective analysis. The ensemble of a comparative-historical approach, a method of analyzing secondary data and a forecasting method contributed to the consolidation of the concept of the food regime as a tool capable of streamlining the global stages of...

Alternate Title: THE CONCEPT OF THE FOOD REGIME AND TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOOD SITUATION IN THE MODERN WORLD. This article is devoted to the study of the food regime, a concept little known in Russian academic literature. The author identifies the "theoretical and methodological platform" of the concept using a comparative approach and retrospective analysis. The ensemble of a comparative-historical approach, a method of analyzing secondary data and a forecasting method...

The starting point of the paper is the meteoric rise of care and care work upon the societal and sociological agenda. Referring to Polanyi, the authors argue that this is the manifestation of a new phase of capitalist societalisation (Vergesellschaftung) of social reproduction in the form of an economic shift. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the societal organisation of care and care work and questions of inequality and justice.Design/methodology/approach The first part of the paper...

Amidst state-level budgetary pressures and growing elderly populations, many US states have adopted managed care for home-based services funded through the Medicaid program. New York State’s managed care mandate is part of a Medicaid ‘Redesign’ targeting health outcomes, cost control, and administrative efficiency, reflecting features emphasized by both governance and New Public Management frameworks, but neither adequately captures this case. Incorporating a Polanyian perspective can...

Modern heterodox theories of money reject the neoclassical conception of money as primarily a medium to facilitate exchange. These heterodox theories of money all have as common starting point an analysis of credit-debt relations in which production is a central feature, with these economies organized along capitalistic design. The Keynesian-Marxian framework describing the process of monetary circulation, traditionally referred to as the theory of the monetary circuit (TMC), perhaps best...

Pour qui est convaincu qu’un auteur n’a rien d’un esprit tombé du ciel et qu’un écrit particulier ne peut être produit dans n’importe quelles conditions, comme pour qui pense que son biographe doit absorber les conditions économiques, sociales, politiques, morales et intellectuelles spécifiques de sa vie, ses racines familiales, ses réseaux de proches et d’amis, ses collaborations professionnelles, les débats scientifiques auxquels il a participé et jusqu’à ses traits psychologiques et...

A leitura e síntese na longa duração recebe em Karl Polanyi a elegante solução que vem sendo apropriada na crítica ao mercado autorregulado da era neoliberal. Na forma de uma (quase) metáfo­ra, “A grande transformação” descreve a ascensão e a crise da sociedade liberal, com os fenômenos extremos que desencadeia com a sua sede de uni­versalização. As guerras, as revoluções e o fascismo marcam a tensão que transforma as relações inter­nacionais. Nesta obra, temos um trabalho de pes­quisa e...

Karl Polanyi’s double movement is a dialectical process characterized by a continuous tension between a movement towards social marketization and a movement towards social protectionism. Notably, Polanyi condemns the former movement while defending the latter. Without using the term “double movement”, F.A Hayek’s theory of social evolution acknowledges the same phenomenon but reaches different normative conclusions. While for Polanyi the marketization of society is a utopia with dystopian...

The idea that authoritarianism attracts workers harmed by the free market, a theory that emerged when the Nazis were in power, has been making a comeback.

Polanyi's analysis and contributions have been brought back into discussion due to the rapid emergence of market-based instruments designed to tackle environmental degradation. Polanyi is a crucial reference in current debates on globalization and international political economy. This article seeks to explore and discuss how his perspective, and the founding concepts of his work, can help us to interpret the current process of the neoliberalization and commodification of nature.
