Karl Polanyi, a renowned social scientist of our time, has left an indelible mark on the world of ideas. According to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), we are currently living in a Polanyi era, characterized by dangerously unregulated markets and a profound lack of trust in politics. This handbook aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of recent research on Polanyi's work and ideas, shedding light on the central role his thinking plays in understanding the intricate relationship between economics and politics.

The stellar lineup of contributors to this book brings together experts from various disciplines, each offering their unique perspectives on Polanyi's work. They delve into the interdisciplinarity of Polanyi's approach, exploring his insights into society's historical dynamics, fundamental contradictions, and methodological challenges. The handbook follows a chronological structure, beginning with the influences that shaped Polanyi's thinking and his formative experiences. It then delves into his seminal work, "The Great Transformation," and its profound impact on the world.

Furthermore, the handbook explores Polanyi's broader influence on various disciplines, including economics, politics, sociology, and more. It examines how his ideas have shaped debates on populism, neoliberalism, and low-carbon transitions, highlighting their ongoing relevance in today's complex social and political landscape.

As a valuable resource for students and scholars of economics, politics, sociology, and other social sciences, this handbook offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of Karl Polanyi's life and work. It provides a deeper understanding of the challenges we face in our interconnected world and offers valuable insights into the potential for political action and social transformation.
