Karl Polanyi
Karl Polanyi was a Hungarian philosopher and economic historian best known for his critique of classical economics and his influential work, 'The Great Transformation.' In it, he argued that the rise of market economies destroyed social relations and led to societal dislocation. Polanyi's ideas about the embeddedness of the economy within social institutions have had a lasting impact on social sciences and political theory, especially among leftist thinkers who advocate for a more humane and socially responsible economic framework.
