Polanyi/Embeddedness

Abstract: A 3 page research paper that investigates the central thesis of Karl Polanyi (1944) in his landmark book The Great Transformation, which is his concept of "embeddedness." The writer defines "embeddedness" and discusses it against the historical backdrop described by Polanyi, which details the effects of the nineteenth century transformation to a self-regulating market economy.
