As the neoliberal order decays, we recall Polanyi's warning against market domination and his trademark ideas: commodified money, the double movement, the US exception development, the reality of society, and socialism as freedom in a complex society. The contributors consider the links between Polanyi's ideas and income inequality, world systems theory, and comparative political economy. -- .
