Gregory Clark, professor of economics at the University of California, Davis, and the author of "A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World", reviews "The Great Transformation" by Karl Polanyi.
Now I'm not sure I see the point in reviewing sixty year-old books, but this review is kinda fun. But not everyone is happy with it. Fred Block, professor of sociology, University of California, Davis, is not impressed with Clark's views. I guess this exchange just illustrates some of the tensions among the social sciences.
