MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: An attempt is made to sum up the basic socio-economic issues in Karl Polanyi's book “The Great Transformation”, which is less known by the economists in our country. Suggesting an alternative to Marx's market economic analysis at the early stages of establishing and imposing the capitalist social system, this significant work of Polanyi questions at the same time a lot of the postulates of the modern liberal economic doctrines. The study highlights the formation of free market not as a natural process, based on natural human aptitudes, but on the contrary – as forcing a framework of rules opposed to the traditional social organization of the people. Bulgarian: Направен е опит да се обобщят основните социоикономически тези в книгата на Карл Полани “Великата трансформация”, сравнително слабо позната в средите на икономистите у нас. Предлагайки алтернатива на Марксовия стопанскоисторически анализ на ранните етапи от възникването и налагането на капиталистическата обществена система, влиятелната творба на Полани същевременно поставя под въпрос редица от постулатите на съвременните либерални икономически доктрини. Изслед ването представя зараждането на свободния пазар не като естествен процес, основан на природни човешки склонности, а напротив - като силово налагане на рамка от правила, противоречащи на традиционната обществена организация у хората.
