The Great Transformation by Karl Polanyi explores how the rise of market economies in the 19th century disrupted traditional societies. Polanyi argues that the idea of a self-regulating market was a political invention, not a natural development, and that treating land, labor, and money as commodities led to widespread social harm. He introduces the concept of the “double movement,” where society pushes back against market forces to protect itself.
