The concept of freedom in Polanyi. Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation is a powerful criticism of free market ideology and its intrinsic assumptions that is based on an implicit political theory of freedom. The attempt is made here of reconstructing and making explicit Polanyi’s concept of “freedom in a complex society” in light of his commitment to a sui generis form of socialism and his lifelong opposition to arguments as found typically in Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom.
